Description
In this lesson, students will learn about the major events of the presidencies of Ford, Carter, and Reagan. With many of the events, they will be able to choose what path the president should take. Each time, they’ll find out if that choice made the president’s approval rating go higher or lower and they’ll compare that choice to their own. In the end, students will see if they were able to make better decisions than the actual president – and they’ll analyze whether the an approval rating is the best way to analyze a president’s impact on the country.
