Introduction
(5 minutes)
Write and underline "Presidential Pets" on the board.
Ask students to think about what kind of pets a president might have. List the responses under the title.
If no one mentions elephants, ask the class if this would be an animal to list.
Explain that elephants were given to President Buchanan, our 15th president!
Add that we will learn more about wacky pets as we conduct White House pet research online.
