In "President James Madison: A Biographical Sketch," students are required to take notes on the events, issues, people, and places that shaped this Founding Father's life as they are presented in a authoritative and trustworthy website. The website’s “list format” makes it very approachable for most students. This activity has proven to be a useful tool in the writing of essays, exams, projects, reports, quizzes, and tests, and it is an excellent way for students to engage in distance learning.
