Introduction Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be part of a presidential inauguration? On January 20, 2013 the 45th president of the United States will take the oath of office. Will it be Mitt Romney or Barak Obama? The official Presidential Inauguration Committee has decided to make this ceremony not only about the new president but also about American heroes. They have asked 5th grade students from our school ~ yes, our school ~ to submit American heroes for the honor of 1 st Presidential Inauguration Day Hero.

Task Heroes are noble and brave Your job is to convince the committee that your hero is worthy of consideration for this honor. In order to win, you will need to prove that your hero has made or is making positive and meaningful contributions that enrich our country. The committee is requiring several pieces of evidence in support of your hero. ~ Timeline - show the 10 most important events in your hero's life. ~ Bio Poem - share the essential details about your hero's life with a biography poem. ~ Argumentative Essay - convince the committee that your hero should be selected. ~ Multimedia Presentation - show the hero's life & contributions with a multimedia tool. You will work in teams of 4 students to research your hero's life and create the evidence required by the committee.
