Lesson Planet Curated

A seven-resource collection of worksheets ask students to examine letters written by Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass, as well as an excerpt from the diary of a Union soldier. After a careful reading of these primary sources, class members answer questions about the context, meaning, and significance of the documents. The worksheets provide young historians with an excellent tool for practicing primary source analysis.
