I started this lesson by reading,
Abe Lincoln's Hat, by Martha Brenner. If you're not familiar with the book, it discusses how Lincoln kept letters and important notes in his hat. The book is a nonfiction picture book & the children loved it! I had the students make their own Abe and write what they would keep inside his hat. I saw this project idea on the blog: http://acupcakefortheteacher.blogspot.com! I made some modifications and the stories came out great. The children had a lot of fun writing and sharing their Abe. I love making crafts with them, especially when I can tie them into creative writing projects!
