A Program for 6th-12th Grade
Aligned to the 8th Grade History Standards
Take a trip to the mid-19th century when Abraham Lincoln
was elected to the presidency and changed the course of
American history. A museum educator facilitates the program in
the Do You Know Your Lincoln Exhibit.
-
Students piece together the political climate of the day with exhibit pieces, including campaign memorabilia, reward posters for runaway slaves, newspaper reaction to the Gettysburg Address, and more.
-
Students employ critical thinking skills to interpret political cartoons and draw conclusions about major events such as the Emancipation Proclamation, the Civil War, and Lincoln's role in both.
