Pickpick

This Newbery Medal-winning biography captures the warm, appealing and humorous life of one of our presidents, Abraham Lincoln. Nonfiction biography (NF) books are great for students so they can understand the history, but it also captures their attention because the story is about someone! I think this book would be great for a guided reading (GR) so teachers and students can stop and talk about major events in history.

LeahH UDL: 6.3 ‘facilitate managing information and resources‘ Teachers can use other info and resources to help talk about and show major historical events that took place in the Lincoln book. 5y
LeahH EL: 15 ‘reinforce the key ideas you present again and again‘ Teachers can point out VERY important events and dates that could be rest questions to students who need extra guidance 5y
LeahH https://www.rif.org/literacy-central/book/lincoln-photobiography after reading, the students can work on interactive puzzles and games that relate to the content of the story 5y
DrSpalding This is an excellent choice that again could be used during social studies instruction. Reading is fundamental provides valuable/quality activities to help you best use the book in your future classroom. 5y

“When visitors called, Lincoln usually greeted them with one of his jokes or anecdotes”

Not a text I would use with early childhood students. Very informational though and the pictures that are included bring you back to the times when Lincoln was alive

1987, biography. Long and wordy text telling about Abraham Lincolns life. Pictures are included in black and white and the book is split into chapters. Very detailed book

I just like this quote “I am humble Abraham Lincoln”
because Honest Abe is all i‘ve known growing up and it really just adds to his character overall and who he was as a person!

I‘ve heard this assassination story a million times but this illustration brings such vivid images to life and is heartbreakingly powerful.

When Lincoln was finished with documents, he stashed them away in mysterious places. After his death, Herndon [his law partner] found a bundle of papers marked, "When you can't find it anywhere else, look here." #missing #maybookflowers

BucklingBookshelves This is a Newbery I haven't really seen or heard about -- love the concept of a photo biography-- I'll have to check it out! 7y
smilingshelves @Bucklingbkshelf I never would have heard of it either if it weren't a Newbery winner, but it's really good! I thought I knew a fair amount about Lincoln, but I'm learning a lot! 7y

This photo-biography is an excellent resource for kids without "dumbing" down the content. It is very well-written for both children and adults and also a winner of the Newberry award. It provides a look into his life in a personal and unique way through black and white photographs. Truly a great read I will use this in my class for sure.

DrSpalding This is an excellent addition to your classroom library in regards to teaching about historical figures namely Lincoln. Good choice. Amazing photographs. 8y
