This First Hundred Days lesson plan also includes:
A presidential term may be four years long, but the first 100 days can have a huge impact on the remaining 1,360. After viewing a video about the eventful beginning days of Franklin D. Roosevelt's first term, young historians work together to research the first 100 days of two modern presidents, as well as the promises for the current president or presidential candidate. They then fill out a graphic organizer to plan their chosen president's first 100 days.
