Procedures Back to Navigation BarDay One:Careers in a Hat (whole class activity) In a hat place thirteen different career pictures that

represent careers that Abraham Lincoln worked at throughout his lifetime.

The pictures will be laminated with a magnet attached to the back.

The students will take turns drawing pictures from a hat. They will share the picture with the class, tell what career they think is represented, and hang the picture on the board.

Turns will be taken until all careers have been drawn out. Pictures that are included in the resource table include:

student, farmer, rail splitter, store clerk, postmaster, representative, lawyer, union soldier, speech writer, president, inventor, land surveyor, and boat hand.

When all of the pictures have been drawn challenge the class to figure out who the person is who held all of the jobs.

Read A Picture Book of Abraham Lincoln by David A. Adler

Day Two:Hats Off to LincolnGetting to Know You: A Primary Source Power Point Presentation About the Careers of Abraham Lincoln Present the Hats Off to Lincoln Power Point using the

Smart Board. Utilize information from primary sources and from the book Abraham Lincoln: The Boy the Man to share stories and lead a discussion about each career that Lincoln had.

When the power point presentation and class discussion have concluded give each group of children a set of laminated career cards from the first day.

Have the children try to put the cards in chronological order based on the information gleaned from the discussion.




Day Three:Lincoln Centers30 minutes in length

1. Video Center: Watch the video President Abraham Lincoln from Living History Productions, Inc.

2. Research: Use the primary source links and other links that are provided to learn more about the careers of Lincoln. Answer the questions on the following worksheet:

Lincoln Career Research Links for Center Activity

3. Log Cabin Construction: Give each child a small Ziploc bag of pretzels sticks. Use the pretzel sticks to construct a log cabin.

4. Play Tic Tac Toe Civil War Style: Purchase two sets of colored stones in the craft section of a store. The stones should be about one inch in diameter. Make grids on poster board that are divided into three rows of three squares each or nine sections total. Laminate the boards for future use.

How to play the game: The object is to get three stones in a row up and down, across, or diagonally. Give each child three stone each (each child has one color). Have the children sit across from each other. They each place their stones in the three squares along the base of the board on their side. They take turns moving the stones one at a time into empty spaces that touch the space the stone they are moving is currently in. When someone gets three in a row they have won the game.5. Use the Smart Board with the following activities:

6. The ABC’s of Lincoln’s Life Brainstorm with your group to come up with words for each letter of the alphabet that have to do with Lincoln.

Day Four and Five: Have children pick a career about one facet of

Lincoln’s life. To do this place a set of career cards in the Lincoln

stovepipe hat from day one. Have each student draw a career. Each student will illustrate their career and write a

short paragraph using the information they have learned plus information from the classroom Lincoln Library.

These paragraphs need to include at least three relevant facts about the career.

Place these pictures on the wall in a time line. The rubric for scoring is included in the rubric section.

Day Six, Seven, and Eight: Have each student choose a career from Lincoln’s life.

They will then use Primary Sources, information they have already acquired, and resources from the Lincoln Presidential Classroom Library to write a brief presentation at least one minute but no longer than one and a half minutes in length about that career.

Each child will dress up in clothes to depict that career. A small colored laminated construction paper “ON” button will be taped to each child’s arm. A live Lincoln Hall of Fame will be set up in the classroom.

Other classes will come to the Hall of Fame to learn about Lincoln.

Each student will stand frozen in a pose. When a student from a visiting class pushes the

laminated on button that student will give their sixty second presentations about the career they are representing.








The short speech will be written on the sixth day, students will memorize and practice their speech on day seven, and the class will present the information in the Lincoln Hall of Fame on the eighth day.

Day Nine Cut out a black top hat from construction paper that

fills up most of the page. Write words around the hat that have to do with all of

the careers that Lincoln had. Use descriptive words and information.

Evaluation Back to Navigation BarUse the following rubrics to assess student work: Lincoln Hall of Fame Rubric Career timeline paragraph and illustration rubric

Extension Back to Navigation Bar Activity One:

Book List for the Lincoln Classroom Library

Activity Two:Assign each student in the class a different president to research using primary sources and other references and books. The students will prepare a two minute presentation about their president. A live Presidential Hall of Fame will be set up for the purpose of presenting the material in the same manner as in Day five through seven.

Activity Three:Talk about different careers that members of the class family have. Invite parents to come to the class to do short presentations about their careers.

Activity Four:Take a trip to various businesses in your local town. Have the proprietor of each business tell the class




information about their job. Take a tour of the facility if possible. If taking walks to local businesses isn’t feasible have local business leaders come to your class to talk about their careers.

Alternate Culminating ActivityA field trip to Springfield or New Salem can be taken. In Springfield students can visit Lincoln’s home, the museum, the Old State Capitol Building, the Monument and Tomb, the depot, Lincoln’s pew, his law office, and the Presidential Library.

Image Description Citation Permanent URLPRESIDENT LINCOLN, WRITING THE PROCLAMATION OF FREEDOM. January 1st, 1863.

This print is based on David Gilmore Blythe's painting of Lincoln writing the Emancipation Proclamation. Blythe imagined the President in a cluttered study at work on the document near an open window draped with a flag. His left hand is placed on a Bible that rests on a copy of the Constitution in his lap. The scales of justice appear in the left corner, and a railsplitter's maul lies on the floor at Lincoln's feet.

Lincoln's Sense of Humor Lincoln liked to tell tales about his experiences. After his time as a soldier in the Black Hawk War, Lincoln joked that he had seen no "live, fighting Indians" during the war but had "a good many bloody struggles with the mosquitoes." He knew that laughing with visitors helped break the ice and that he could tell a funny story to avoid a reporter's difficult question. His sense of humor was well-known. Here are the words to a song that was inspired by Lincoln, called "Hey! Uncle Abe, are you joking yet?" Keep in mind that it was written by members of the political party that opposed Lincoln's reelection.

The Homestead Act Went Into Effect May 20, 1862 Land available! Come and get it! This poster told Americans about their opportunity to claim land and farm it, thanks to the Homestead Act. President Abraham Lincoln signed the Homestead Act on May 20, 1862, to spur Western migration. How did a person get 160 acres of one's own? You had to be a U.S. citizen and 21 years of age. By paying a filing fee of $10 and residing on your new farm in the West for at least five years, the land would be yours. A great deal, but it took 20 years to get the Act passed.

Under Abraham Lincoln, farming truly became a science. In 1862, the U.S. Department of Agriculture was established. Its goals were to collect and study seeds, plants, soils, and animals, to test new farm equipment, and to advise farmers on all agricultural matters.

That same year, Congress passed the Morrill Land Grant Act, a law that directed the federal government to give large pieces of land to states to build colleges of agriculture. The “land grant colleges” as they were called, evolved into some of the nation’s best known universities
