Thinkin' About Lincoln

This creative thinking packet will bring Abraham Lincoln to life as no other research project has done before! Students will be inspired to research all aspects of Abraham Lincoln in order to find the answers to these 20 creative thinking activities. This Abraham Lincoln Creative Thinking packet makes an incredible independent study or alternative task and pushes students to use the higher levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy.

Thinkin’ About Lincoln pairs perfectly with a unit of study on Abraham Lincoln or the Civil War. It can also be an extra credit or early finishers activity.

**An Independent Learning Contract and Product Descriptor are provided for easy implementation and grading!

I have also provided student-friendly sites and resources on my Abraham Lincoln Pinterest board! I used many of these sites to inspire this packet.
