Like father, like son: Presidential families
http://edsitement.neh.gov/view_lesson_plan.asp?id=264
A lesson plan for grades K–2 Social Studies
The lessons in this unit from EDSITEment provide an opportunity for students to learn about and discuss two U.S. families in which both the father and son became President. Students will address questions such as: What types of people might become President of the United States? What type of training as a child do you think these father/son pairs had to enable them to become President? Students will explore how these Presidential sons were like their fathers, and will personally explore how they think they are like their own parents.
