Abraham Lincoln Biography Proofreading and KEY
This one page Word document about Abraham Lincoln is historically correct, but it is filled with grammatical errors and typos. This is a great way to get students to proofread while giving them a thumbnail sketch of the 16th President. I formatted the margins so it would fit on one page; you may want to do the same. This works well as either an individual or paired assignment. A one page answer KEY is included, making this 2 pages total.
