Periods 1, 2, & 7 - Monday, May 2nd

 
Students started constructing an essay about how we should view Abraham Lincoln and his view on slavery by picking one of the two quotes and taking a position. 
 
Choose one of the two quotations to frame/write a position paper.

“You can’t defend Abraham Lincoln without defending slavery.”

– Lerone Bennett

“Remembering is always about some degree of forgetting…The task is to keep reminding ourselves what is worth remembering.”

– David Blight

Using your chosen quote as a frame, write a 1-2 page essay supporting a position on how Abraham Lincoln’s views on slavery should be remembered today.

In your essay, be sure to include a comprehensive discussion of Lincoln’s changing and conflicting views on slavery.

Incorporate a minimum of three concrete examples supporting your position, such as quotations made by Lincoln (from the “Who said it” or timeline activities), events during Lincoln’s lifetime (from the video segments), and/or other facts about Lincoln you have learned from the activities completed in the lesson.
 

The directions and rubric are both located in Google Classroom as an assignment. Please make sure that you remember to turn in your essay on Google Classroom. 

I have also attached the rubric for reference below.
