Lesson Plan

Abraham Lincoln: Life of Honesty: Comparing and Contrasting Levels of Government:

This is lesson #2 in the text unit series for Abraham Lincoln: A Life of Honesty by Tonya Leslie. Students will be learning about the local, state, and national levels of government. This will be done before reading the text Abraham Lincoln: A Life of Honesty to build background knowledge.

This unit will help students explain why the United States Constitution is an important document that protects the rights of American citizens, the responsibilities of the United States government, and how Abraham Lincoln is an important symbol of the United States government.

Students will engage in a read aloud spread out over several lessons emphasizing vocabulary, central idea, research, expository and opinion writing, and collaboration in groups.

The teacher will facilitate vocabulary instruction, student research, determination of central ideas, student presentation, expository and opinion writing, and group collaboration to help students demonstrate why the United States Constitution is an important document.
