K-W-L Reading Strategy
Abe
Lincoln, the 16th President was elected from the state of Illinois
and was a key figure in Civil War history.
Please choose one of the following events from his life that was
presented in the textbook and type a completed K-W-L chart as presented and
discussed in class. As a reminder I
have posted my sample K-W-L from the presidential unit.
To
insert a table, go to the Word tool bar and choose insert from the TABLE
drop down menu. You will need three
columns and six rows. If you need more rows select insert rows from the
same TABLE drop down menu. Remember to
also footnote what you have learned and written in that column. Even though I have written these points in
my own words, they still need to be footnoted because I learned them from
reading the textbook.
