The Presidents
The purpose of this Wiki will be for students in my 10th Grade, U.S. History II class, to create a project in which they will "rank" the Presidents based on whether or not they did a good job while in office, based on what the students think and what they later will research.

Part One
The students will be asked to create a Wiki page and then, using what they already know, create two lists on their page. The first list will be who the students think were the Best 5 Presidents that the United States has had in its history. The second list will be who the students think were the Worst 5 Presidents that the United States has had in its history.

Part Two
Students will do research finding and comparing what historians have said about who the best Presidents and worst Presidents were. They will need to compare the findings of 5 different historians. The second set of lists will be based on their findings.

Part Three
Students will place, on their page, their final set of lists. In these lists, they will have to see if what they found affects their original lists in any way. They will also need to explain any changes, or non-changes in the first set of lists that they created.
