The First 100 Days of an administration are examined, especially in the times of economic crises and war, for evidence of success in addressing public need, in laying the foundation for policies and communicating with Congress and the public. Activities and resources in this guide cover the executive branch. Students chart the Cabinet and conduct a “Bureaucracy Scavenger Hunt.” Students of all ages are encouraged to collect photographs from the pages of The Post to illustrate concepts that form the foundation of our democracy. News and Style section articles, an editorial and Bob Woodward commentary, and a Sally Jenkins column are reprinted.   The main lesson addresses these academic content standards.     NIE: for educators: lesson plans: lesson plan details
