Teaching the 35th President
When covering the Cold War era or President's Day, these printables give students a visual connection to history. As the youngest person elected to the office, his story often engages younger learners. The educational sheets include space for students to write down facts about his establishment of the Peace Corps or his push for the Apollo space program. You can pair these sheets with our other educational history resources to build a comprehensive unit on the 1960s.
Historic Details to Color
The portraits of JFK feature his classic tailored suits and distinct hairstyle. Students can use standard shades of navy blue and charcoal gray for his clothing. For scenes in the Oval Office, colorists can research the actual decor used during his term, including the famous Resolute Desk. Adding a presidential portrait to a student's notebook helps them recognize key historical figures.
