- On your cover page, provide a simple list of your favorite US Presidents in descending order from fifth favorite to most favorite (example: 5→1). Do not discuss each person, simply list them in reverse numerical rank.
- The next step is to provide a compelling argument that explains the rational for your top selection only. Again, your essay is to only discuss the one President you feel is the greatest of all time.
- The justification must be based on an evaluation of that President's initiatives, policies (domestic and/or foreign), leadership, vision, etc.
- You are expected to utilize at least three different sources and properly document those sources in a formal bibliography (MLA or APA format).
- All fact based information that is presented in your paper and based on research is to be properly cited. If you use a direct quote, you must provide the author and the page number. If you quote a presidential address, there are special rules of citation you are expected to employ.
- If there is one great lesson we could learn from this President, how would you apply it to modern America?
