how do i write a report on abraham lincoln?

Answer 1

By researching your subject. Then you need to narrow down your topic. For example, you could do a report about his presidency and all the things he did as a president, or you could do a report on his upbringing on how it shaped him to be one of our most cherished presidents. Doing an outline and a topic sentence before you begin actually writing the paper will help tremendously.

Answer 2

I am a fourth grade teacher and I regularly assign this type of project while we are studying the Civil War. Does you report absolutely have to be on Lincoln? If so there are volumes of information to use. If not, you may consider another lesser known figure. (I assign extra points for that.)

Find a book with a Lincoln's life outline and mark the important dates on a sheet.

Then research those dates and tell what happened. They will all be important events so it should not be hard. Now you should have all of the "public life" stuff recorded.

Go back and read about his personal life and add those events to the time line. See how they mesh.

If you are a good writer it should be very easy to mix these two time lines into one cintinuous and interesting story.

Good Luck!

Answer 3

You go to the library, you go to yahoo, (or some other search engine) and you gather information about Abraham Lincoln. Then you look at your assignment (did it give any specific instructions about what part of Lincoln's life the report was to be on? Or the length of the report?) and report on what you have learned about Lincoln.
At the end of the report, list the sources you used to gather the information.

Answer 4

Abraham Lincoln
16th President of the United States
1809 - 1865
I leave you, hoping that the lamp of liberty
will burn in your bosoms until there shall no longer
be a doubt that all men are created free and equal.

—Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809 in a log cabin in Hardin County (now LaRue County), Kentucky. He rose from humble origins and less than a year of formal education to become the 16th President of the United States, and one of the great men of American history. Lincoln is credited with saving the Union from disintegration and eliminating slavery in America.

Lincoln was elected President on November 6, 1860. He lead the United States through the nation's greatest crisis, the Civil War (1861-1865). Lincoln appointed three opponents for the Republican nomination to his cabinet, naming William Seward, Secretary of State; Salmon Chase, Secretary of the Treasury and later nominatinghim to be chief justice of the Supreme Court, and Edward Bates, who served as Attorney General. Lincoln was a master politician, leading by persuasion and humor.

The war's end was in sight on March 4, 1865 when Lincoln took his second oath of office as President. In his inaugural address he urged merciful treatment for the defeated rebel states. As Lincoln began his second term he worked tirelessly for the speedy "reconstruction" of the war-torn nation.

On the evening of April 14, 1865 Lincoln was assasinated as he watched a play at Ford's Theatre in Washington D.C. He was the first American President to be assasinated. Thousands of mourners lined the tracks as his funeral train moved him from Washington to his final resting place in Springfield, Illinois.

Newspaper publisher Horace Greeley said of Lincoln:

He slowly won his way to eminence and fame doing the work that lay next to him—doing it with all his growing might—doing it as well as he could, and learning by his failure, when failure was encountered, how to do it better.
