This informational resource on Abraham Lincoln is designed to give 5th – 7th graders practice reading and comprehending content area text. There are two pages of text which will cover Lincoln’s life beginning in Kentucky and progresses through his life touching on his family, his career as a lawyer, his election in 1860 and finally his death by the hands of John Wilkes Booth. After reading both the text and two charts (quick facts and fun facts), students will complete a comprehension worksheet. Finally, there is a fun postcard writing activity asking them to write to President Lincoln.

Teach students about the Pony Express, a business that lasted just 18 months during the American Westward Expansion (1860-1861). In this cross-curricular resource, students will learn the how, when, where and why behind this mail delivery system which stretched from St. Joseph, Missouri to Sacramento, California. They will also learn about the riders and horses that made it possible, how much it cost to use and how a new ‘telegraph’ system lead to the company’s closure.
This is a true cross-curricular unit as students will learn U.S. History while engaging in Geography (map work), Language Arts (comprehension, writing, dictionary work, research) and Math (word problems) activities. There are 4 passages about the Pony Express which are the foundation for all activities. Answer Keys are provided.

I’ve created this shape book of Lincoln to be versatile and is perfect for any type of student-created writings about the 16th President of the United States!
