This visual literacy activity asks students to look at Alexander Gardner’s 1865 photograph of Abraham Lincoln and complete a web-based worksheet with details that are observed, such as Lincoln’s physical features, his clothing, and the objects that are pictured with him. Based on this information, students then make inferences and pose questions about Lincoln.
