Thomas Jefferson
Mr. Case’s Definition: “3rd President of the United States;
chief drafter of the Declaration of Independence”
My Definition: One of the United States’ founders who did
lots of stuff, including writing the Declaration and making
the Louisiana Purchase

Cool Fact:Many people claim Jefferson invented macaroni
and cheese.
Not-so-cool fact: DNA evidence has shown that Jefferson
probably fathered at least one child with one of his slaves,
Sally Hemming.
Cool Jefferson Quote: “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and
tyrants.”
My Metaphor: Thomas Jefferson was like a cat. He didn’t
allow himself to tamed like everyone else, and he always
seemed to be wiser than everyone else.
If you can compare your term
to something
else, it will
help people
remember it!
