Description:

Going to the heart of the democratic process, this CD-ROM, Oval Office: Challenge of the Presidency, enables middle and high school students to experience first-hand the roles and responsibilities of the President of the United States of America.

Students strengthen critical thinking and decision making skills as they consider budgetary issues, pass or veto legislation, hold press conferences, and prepare for reelection, among other activities. In addition, they have access to an array of historical reference materials and an annotated U.S. Constitution. All of their activities are recorded in their Memoirs and can be saved and printed for assessment.

Developed in conjunction with Monday Morning Books, Inc. (publishers of How to be President of the U.S.A.), Oval Office: Challenge of the Presidency is a valuable and authentic learning tool that offers students a rich perspective on the intricacies of American government and the challenges that confront a President.

Oval Office complements the American Government coursework covered in class, with particular emphasis being placed on the Executive branch of government. Issues relating to the balance of powers and the roles and responsibilities of the President are addressed in this program. Aspiring presidents learn that every course of action taken during their term in office has consequences.

The CD-ROM also includes a customizable, printable Teacher's Resource Kit with activities and worksheets.
