Presidents William Howard Taft to Today
Presidential portraits from William Howard Taft through recent administrations for modern U.S. history and government units.
The companion set begins with William Howard Taft and reaches recent administrations. I use portraits of Taft, Wilson, Harding, Coolidge, Hoover, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Clinton, George W. Bush, Obama, Trump, and Biden, along with the White House and presidential podium. That run makes change over time visible while leaving room for students to study each era in context.
This fits grades 4 and 5 units on twentieth- and twenty-first-century U.S. history, elections, leadership, and government. For a specific review, I'll have teams build a living timeline and connect each president to a decade, major event, or constitutional responsibility using their own research notes. That keeps the activity historical rather than turning it into a popularity contest. Color versions help students scan a wall timeline. Blackline versions are ready for sequencing strips, notebook profiles, and a compare-across-eras page.
