Hands on History Gettysburg Address Puzzle

The Gettysburg Address is one of the United States most famous speeches. Help your students research and rewrite the document in their words while working individually, in small groups, or as an entire class.

The Gettysburg Collaborative Poster is a great way to culminate a lesson over the famous speech. It can be completed in one class day with very little prep!

There is individual work and whole class discussions that take place and that's why these posters are some of my favorite lessons we do in our class. I love assignments that allow my students to be creative, they have a specific task to complete, they can have, and. meaningful conversations with classmates.

This file comes with instructions and three poster options: a large poster for whole class and a smaller poster for smaller groups, plus a single page that students can simply color.

Your students will read and learn about Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address with the Comic.

Included in this file is the "Gettysburg Address Comic," "Comprehension Questions and Answer Key", and Gettysburg Address Translation Handout, as well as a blank "Modern Gettysburg Address" page to put up in your classroom once you have finished the lesson.

I use this as a group assignment and break the students up into 10 different groups and assign each a part of the Gettysburg Address to translate into modern language. The students research and discuss the meanings of words used by Lincoln during one of his most famous speeches.

I use this Gettysburg Address Puzzle to introduce, teach, and review my unit over Lincoln's Famous Speech.

Your students will learn and review some the words from "The Gettysburg Address." This small tool can provide a number of teaching opportunities. You and your students will enjoy this puzzle's versatility.

I print out these puzzles on card stock or laminate them so they last longer, and cut it out. Occasionally I'll have the students cut them out to save time and also it allows them to review. I put each of the pieces in their own little bag. Then I pass out each bag to the students. I will use this puzzle periodically throughout my units. The first time I will give the students 5-10 minutes to see how much they can do. Then I'll shorten the time as we learn more about it. By the end of my unit I have puzzle races and time the students. I record their times and push them to try and beat them. ¨It is a fun way for them to review and try and piece the document together and it is great for your tactile learners as well.

Also included is a link to a free online game where students can practice the speech by typing out the words in order.
