Students read Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address independently, then as a class before beginning work.

Given the exact value, x, of a quantity and an approximate value, a, of the quantity, students use the absolute error, | a - x |, to compute the percent error by using the formula | a - x |/ |x| x 100%.
Students understand the meaning of percent error as the percent the absolute error is of the exact value.
Students understand that when an exact value is not known, an estimate of the percent error can still be computed when given a range determined by two inclusive values (e.g., if there are known to be between 6,000 and 7,000 black bears in New York, but the exact number is not known, the percent error can be estimated to be (1,000/6,000)(100%) at most, which is 16(2/3)%).

In this lesson, students will participate in a concept formation lesson designed to teach them an understanding of the concept absolutism. In order to develop comprehension of the concept, students will uncover the critical attributes of absolutism from analsyis of a series of examples and non-examples.

In this lesson, students work in groups to examine excerpts from primary source documents. They identify social and economic factors affecting specific categories of people when the Great Migration accelerated in 1916 to 1917: black migrant workers from the South, southern planters, southern small-farm farmers, northern industrialists, agents, and white immigrant workers in the North.
