Teaching Ideas:
This book will be useful for its complex portrait of Civil War issues; it's also an outstanding biography. Learners may want to track the development of Lincoln's stand on slavery or keep running notes about significant aspects of his life or the political climate of the times. "Then and now" writing and discussion could focus on presidential elections or the role of the press. Some illustrations could be used as writing prompts. Finally, students may enjoy reading Freedman's other nonfiction books, so an author text set might work well. Civil War: www.civilwar.com; Abraham Lincoln: www.members.aol.com/RVSNorton/Lincoln2.html
