The Lincoln Assignment

Now that you’ve explored how to blog using this platform, let us try to blog with a purpose to see what we can learn from each other. We are following and being followed by another team, Chavez-Vera Cruz which means that we can view and comment on their posts and they can do the same to our posts.

So let me write down a few rules to go by:
Be respectful of other people’s feelings and know that blogging is different from face to face interactions.
Derogatory words and comments equals to two strikes.

For your next post:
* Write about a Abraham Lincoln or other civil rights activists. We are Team Lincoln and we need to learn about who Abraham Lincoln is and the many important people in history who have done a lot of great things to help us have the rights we have today. In a few weeks, I would hope that you would have learned about some amazing leaders who you may not get the chance to learn about in your regular school day.
Look up Abraham Lincoln and find out about the following:
When he was born
Where he went to school
What did he do before he became President
What did he do during his presidency that contributed to Civil Rights.
Is he a good role model?

Here are some examples of people to look up: Malcolm X, Yuri Kochiyama, Angela Davis, Dolores Huerta, Jose Rizal, but do not be limited to this list!!! Feel free to look up other civil rights activists and leaders!
