Jess, You are using the NARA and SEA to analyze key parts of LIncoln's role in the Civil War. I am always a supporter of writing essays. Essays require critical thinking by nature, provided there is not a lot of restating. You clearly state that the essay reflects the student's opinion. Nice work! ~Jennifer Great use of the SEA and NARA forms. You have chosen some interesting cartoons and documents for your students to analyze. I like the idea of students presenting their findings to the class. Making presentations to our peers is a skill that often gets overlooked in our busy classrooms. Jeanine **
