Instructional Ideas
- Divide the class into small groups, assign each group a different area to examine, and share their findings to the class
- Instruct individuals to take notes as they discover new facts then write a paragraph that reflects on their new-found knowledge
- Send the link home with pupils so they can tour Mount Vernon for homework near the Presidents' Day holiday
