| Finding information about President Abraham
Lincoln is not difficult. The challenge is finding appropriate
classroom materials students can understand. Consequently, we've
tried to locate sites that offer an array of resources covering
everything from basic timelines to Lincoln's success as a war-time
leader. The list includes something for every grade and reading
level.
Alan Haskvitz notes he once wrote a story called "Lincoln,
Our Strongest President" about Lincoln's accomplishment
as a wrestler, lifter of chicken houses and rail splitter.
This idea may provide some avenues for student research. Others
could include research about his failures, his family and
the changes in his face as the stress of the presidency and
his personal life took its toll. Printing out a series of
pictures from first to last is quite compelling.
