Two of Shelly Lindahl's fifth grade classes in Paxton School in Platte City, Missouri, researched President Harry Truman and want to share some facts they learned about him. The students first watched a movie about Truman called "To the Best of My Ability." Then, they used a variety of resources to learn more about Truman. Some of the resources were: Internet web sites, copies of original documents from the archives of the Truman Library, the Truman trunk, CD's on presidents, encyclopedias, books, and magazine articles. The students shared their information with class members and created a Truman Timeline. They then divided in small groups and chose an area of Truman's life to further research. They summarized their information to appear on this page.
