Honors Government: Presidential Roles: Images

 Finding, Using and Citing Images:

Don’t forget!   Pictures must be cited as well as text, using the same rules as you would for text citations from print or online sources. 

Databases and most primary source archives provide citations for the resources

In general, websites do not provide a citation and you will have to create the citation based on the information available on your own.

As you do your research, keep track of the images you find.  Be sure to take notes about what is happening in the picture and the presidential role it depicts.

Databases:

 

Primary Source Resources

DOCS Teach: Online tool for teaching with documents, from the National Archives (resources include a citation)

Web Sources for Images

Google Images searches: pair the name of the president with the KEYWORD of the topic in hand.  For example, Bush and Treaty
