US History II students researched US presidents and then tried to convince their peers that their president was the greatest in the US. As a class, JFK was evaluated based on domestic and foreign policy decision-making along with his persuasive “Kennedy style.” Evaluation criteria such as moral authority, economic management, crisis leadership , and international relations were utilized to rate each president.
