Description
- Are you looking for a quick way to cover the Presidency of Ronald Reagan? By the time I get to Reagan, I am RACING to finish before our state test. I struggled to find something engaging - then I finally came up with this activity that students LOVE! This is a GREAT activity that I use to cover Reagan in 1 class period. Students love it when I add my 80s playlist as background music. It's a print and go activity!
PLEASE NOTE! This was created because I needed to teach Reagan's Presidency in 1 day. It is not an in-depth activity! It covers the basics and allows students to show their creativity.
- Students will read short summaries of 7 key events in Reagan's Presidency (included in this purchase). These events are listed below. Students will then create a visual summary inside the bubble letters and then write a summary in their own words in the boxes. I told my students that I should be able to tell that they understand the event by simply looking at their letters!
While students were working, I played my Spotify 80s playlist and they loved every minute of it! Class "Sing Alongs" are encouraged with this activity!
