When art teachers incorporate reading, writing, and social studies in the mix, the results can be outstanding. You can teach students about the life of Abraham Lincoln through the use of an “age-appropriate informational text. Students can then practice early reading skills while learning about this important historical figure,” according to Britannica Education. “They engage with the informational text to identify key details about Lincoln’s life and his presidency. Through guided reading, discussions, and simple comprehension activities, students develop their understanding of both Lincoln and basic informational text features.”

Once students have read the passage and answered questions, students can try sketching President Lincoln’s portrait and research key details into the President’s life, on the eve of President’s Day.
