Students will study the photos and sort them chronologically. Biographies about President Lincoln will be read and will be discussed with peers. Student groups will be provided with a single photograph and will analyze that image of President Lincoln. Based on information they have learned from the biographies, discussions and personal experiences the students will design and construct a memory box containing objects Lincoln may have saved during that particular period of his life.
