  1. Do you know who Richard M. Nixon is? Richard Nixon was the 37th President of the United States. He was President from 1969–1974. We are going to take a journey back in time to create a pictorial timeline of Richard Nixon’s presidency. Once we have the timeline completed, including events that occurred during President Nixon’s presidency, his accomplishments and pitfalls, we will take a vote, by private ballot, to see if you would have voted for President Nixon.

  2. Task • Working in pairs or individually you will create a pictorial timeline of the major events that occurred during President Nixon’s presidency. You must have one picture for each year of his presidency. • You will provide a brief description of each event. • You will cast a vote for President Nixon citing the reasons why you have voted the way you did.

  3. Process • Research the internet to identify a MAJOR event that occurred each year during President Nixon’s presidency.
