Or on you iOS device using a variety of apps such as garage band, Rap Song Maker, or other voice recording apps. You could use photobabble and add your voice to an image.
Create a comic strip to share your knowledge of presidents. Consider creating one in which you go back in time and meet one of the presidents. On an iOS device, use Toontastic, Pow- Strip Designer, Comic Life, or Story Me.
Younger students could create a puppet show using Puppet Pals or write a informational text using StoryKit or Book Press (both free apps).
