Abraham Lincoln

Reading Class
February 12, 2014
 
Before we really get started reading Chasing Lincoln's Killer, let's look at who the author calls the most important figure in the story, Abraham Lincoln.  It's his birthday, so it sort of makes today the perfect day to learn more about him, right?
 
We will be doing a K-W-H-L; however, we will do the H part of it together by watching a documentary about Lincoln.
 
When you are done, comment on this post.  Share the most interesting thing you learned about Abraham Lincoln.

  5. I think it was a little crazy that Abraham Lincoln didn't see his dying father, or even go to his funeral. But he had a good reason since his dad beat him.
