Bri Jamshidi's link on Roles of the President The website above is very easy and helpful to use. Information regarding the roles of the president are displayed within a slide show. Each description of the president's role is simply worded for anyone to understand. Photos are also included in the slide show for clarification of each role. Once all the information about the roles are finished the slide show goes into a game. The game is perfect for reviewing. It is set up with examples and the correct role is supposed to be typed into the blank space beneath the examples. The game also checks your answer to make sure your are learning the roles correctly.

Bri Snyder's Link on Roles of the President I believe that this website is a credible website to use because it is easy to understand, and it gives all of the right information for this topic. It breaks down all of the seven presidental roles and explains them into further detail. Another good thing about this site is that it gives many actual examples of each roles along with a description/definition. It's a very easy site to read and understand, so students could be able to study from it if their notes didn't have correct information or they just didn't take any. Having the site be straight forward and not too complicated, it makes it a good site to use.
