    One of the central recurring themes in A Level History is the role and significance of individuals in shaping events.

    For each President, create a detailed significance poster about the key events and achievements/ failures in their Presidencies.

    Using the Presidents Decoded chapters and the White House Website (https://www.whitehouse.gov/about-the-white-house/presidents/), create a poster for:

    • Harry Truman.
    • Dwight Eisenhower.
    • John F. Kennedy.
    • Lyndon Johnson.
    • Richard Nixon.
    • Gerald Ford.
    • Jimmy Carter.

    • Consider the chapter titles in the book as a way of dividing the poster sections:
    • What was their background before they became President?
    • What events are they remembered for?
    • What happened during their Presidency?
    • What has defined their Presidency?
    • You should also focus on their roles in areas such as foreign policy, civil rights legislation, politics, and the economy.
    • Add images and colours to the poster. (Democrats – Blue, Republicans – Red).
