Teaching Ideas: |
|||||||||
| Students will probably want to discuss the relationship of text to illustration and will probably find themselves comprehending the speech, the time, the Civil War, Lincoln, and qualities of great speeches better for having spent time with this book. This is a natural part of any study of U.S. history or of the Civil War. Abraham's Battle provides a fictional version of Lincoln at Gettysburg that would be a good companion book. www.civilwar.com; http://members.aol.com/RVSNorton/Lincoln2.html | |||||||||
