Lesson Plan on Gettysburg:

In this section I used classtools.net to create a "FakeBook". I created Abraham Lincoln's page. I think that students would find this a fun way to learn about historical figures during the Civil War



Student's are really into Facebook. This would allow them to create a "fake Facebook for a historical figure. They would have to research a specific person and create the page off of their research. In the picture above I have created Abraham Lincoln's page. I incorporated important details like his birthday, where he worked and from which dates and his political party. I also included his friends which included his generals. Another thing I added to Abe's page was the Gettysburg Address and posted it on the day that it was given. This provides students with the opportunity to mark down historical dates that their figure has lived through.

Classtools does not require a username or password and it is simple! Go to classtools.net, on the right side click on "fakebook" and start creating your page. This generator is easy to use and I believe it will engage students in learning about a historical figure in depth.
