Teaching about Abraham Lincoln in the Classroom

The Abraham Lincoln Association homepage currently houses links to sister-sites with curriculum-boosting ideas on how to approach the topic of Lincoln within the classroom.  Although entirely document-based, the material still offers an engaging experience through the site’s innovative intertwining of primary documents with textbook style descriptions.  Structured mainly for teachers in the state of Illinois, the site also acts as a advertising resource for the group’s Illinois-based, Lincoln-themed events.  However, even if you’re an outsider, don’t let the association’s focus on Illinois steer you away from this site because it provides great ideas for immersing students in the history of one our nation’s greatest preisdents, Abraham Lincoln.
