Red Bud Middle 8th grade GA History students were recently treated to an investigative lesson on the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. They were shown primary sources, such as journal entries and court interviews that dealt with events leading up to and the days following the assassination. Students were also introduced to the many suspects involved in the conspiracy, heard the evidence against them and, before being told the actual outcome of the trial, had to determine whether the suspects were innocent or guilty. Students were very interested in this highly engaging lesson.
