On Thursday, after the Sputnik and Blast from the Past quizzes, we will devote ourselves to scouring the Interwebs for info on President Eisenhower and all aspects of his presidency. Bring your laptop or other device, but if you can’t, we will have at least a dozen computers in the room for you to work on.

Each of you must find at least one usable piece of evidence on Ike’s presidency (there will be no group info or shared info). I define usable as something covering his achievements (foreign, domestic, social, legislative, etc.) or his weaknesses. Even if you’re on the pro / anti side, you can find research that helps support your views and knocks down what you anticipate the other side’s arguments to be. You must cite the website properly using www.easybib.com or another online citation source. This work is due by Saturday, April 19 @ noon.

Also, don’t just limit yourself to online sources. If you find a certain passage in a book, quote it and share it with your team.

Debate is Monday, April 21.
