A Great Tool to Bring Lincoln into the Classroom

Northern Illinois University’s site Lincoln/Net offers scholarly interpretation of Lincoln with a focus on both biographical information about Lincoln and historical themes relevant to his endeavors.   The format of these items includes texts, images, sound clips and videos.  Lincoln/Net also provides classroom help for teachers in the Teacher’s Parlor.  This section of the website lays out lesson plans focused on engaging students through the use of primary documents as well as scholarly video and audio interviews.  Lincoln/Net would be a great resource for any teacher to consider incorporating into their classroom repertoire.
