Student Instructions
Create a spider map that shows attributes and facts about a president from the book.
Look for interesting and unique details about the president from the book, reliable websites, or library books. Try to find facts that go beyond the basics—these make your project stand out!
Place the president’s name in the center and add each fact in its own branch. Use short phrases or keywords so your map is clear and easy to read.
Add a drawing or symbol for every fact to help classmates quickly understand what you learned. Keep your illustrations simple and colorful for the best effect.
Present your map in small groups or to the whole class. Explain why you chose each fact and what you found most surprising—this builds speaking skills and helps everyone learn!
Think about how your president’s attributes or actions relate to leaders today. Discuss similarities and differences to encourage deeper understanding and spark classroom conversation.
The 'So You Want to Be President?' activity asks students to research and illustrate interesting facts about a U.S. president, using a spider map to organize attributes and evidence from the book, online, or other sources.
Students create a spider map by writing the president's name in the title, listing different attributes or facts in each description box, and illustrating each attribute with scenes, characters, or items that represent their research.
Students can include fun facts such as Abraham Lincoln being the tallest president, the first to have a full beard, or other unique traits and achievements found through research.
This lesson is ideal for grades 4–5, and can be completed individually or with a partner, making it suitable for upper elementary classrooms.
Students practice research, reading comprehension, organization, and creative illustration as they find, summarize, and visually represent facts about a U.S. president.
