      3) Read A Picture Book of Abraham Lincoln as a group.

    Day #2:
      4) Review the book as necessary before beginning the day's lesson.
      5) As the students are reading as a group, use a map to locate the important areas in Lincoln's life.
        a) Kentucky - where he was born
        b) Indiana - moved in 1816
        c) Illinois - moved in 1830
        d) Mississippi River
        e) Washington D.C.
        f) Gettysburg, PA
      6) The students will be marking the areas the group finds in the book on their
      individual maps while the teacher locates the areas on the classroom map.
