== -> president Theodore Roosevelt==

K-W-L paragraph

1. What I know about my historical person... 2. What I want to learn about him... 3. Where I can find the answers... 4. What I have learned....

1) I know quite a lot about my historical person, Theodore Roosevelt. It is because I have read and heard a lot about him since I was a child. So these are the things I know about Theodore Roosevelt. Theodore Roosevelt was the youngest president in the United States. I believe that he was about 23 when he first became president. A lot of times, I heard that his childhood nickname used to be Teddy. He is the 26th president, which is a fact, and he is famous for having an energetic personality, which is why he is a role model for a lot of people. He was in charge of the Panama canal and he was the first person ever to win a Nobel Prize in America.

2) There are a lot of things I wish to learn about Theodore Roosevelt. What did he mainly do for the United States of America? A lot of presidents are famous for contributing greatly in their country. Also, I know that he won the Nobel Prize, but I want to know why he actually won the prize itself. I don't really know about the Panama Canal, so I also want to learn more about it. I have heard many stories of his child hood and I think it will be an interesting topic to learn. Finally, I wish to know how he died and some of his famous quotes.

3) Well, its very easy to find a lot of information about Theodore Roosevelt because he was the president of the United States of America. I have a biography of Theodore Roosevelt at home that I can use. I found out that the White House official site also provides me with info. There are plenty of museum sites and I found this wonderful Primary source site that I can use...

4) My research is not 100 %done yet, but I still have an idea... ( my research will keep on going during the project....) Theodore Roosevelt was born in October 27th, 1858. He had a very weak childhood. He was home schooled because he was so weak. He grew his body because his father said that he had the mind, but he didn't have the body. He graduated Harvard and later married two wives. More will be added later....

 Time line...

 Quotes

(1) "...the man who really counts in the world is the doer, not the mere critic-the man who actually does the work, even if roughly and imperfectly, not the man who only talks or writes about how it ought to be done." (2) "I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life; I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well." (3) "There is not in all America a more dangerous trait than the deification of mere smartness unaccompanied by any sense of moral responsibility."

Another reason why president Theodore Roosevelt was so famous, was because he had done many things for the first time.

 (1) 1907 - first to get awarded a Nobel Price in America (2) First and only U.S. President to be awarded the Medal of Honor, for his charge up San Juan Hill.  **(3) 1902 - first president to ride in an automobile **  (4) First sitting U.S. President to make an official trip outside of the United States, visiting Panama to inspect the construction progress of the Panama Canal on November 9, 1906. (5) First President to sail in a submarine (aboard the USS //Plunger // , 1905), and first former president to fly in an airplane (October 11, 1910). <span style="font-size: 11px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;">
