Women of Accomplishment:
An Internet Scavenger Hunt

Share

March is National Women's History Month, a time to honor the achievements of American women and to recognize the historical impact of those achievements. This month, expand your students' knowledge about the many ways in which women sustain the American spirit by posing a question a day about women's history! Included: Links to sites detailing the accomplishments of 23 remarkable American women.

From Virginia Dare, the first baby born to English parents on American soil to Lt. Col. Eileen Collins, the first woman astronaut to command a space shuttle mission, American women have left an indelible mark on the history of the United States. March is National Women's History Month, a time to honor those women -- and all the women -- whose accomplishments have made this country great. To help you focus your students' attention on the contributions and achievements of women, Education World has created this question-a-day calendar on women's history. Whether they work in small groups or on their own, students will enjoy searching for information and learning about these women of accomplishment!

Click here for an answer key for this activity.

DIRECTIONS: Each square on the March calendar below includes the name of a famous woman or a famous event. Click on the name to find a question about that woman or event. Each question is linked to a URL where the answer can be found. A link to a printable list with all of the questions and URLs is available further down the page.

Note: The calendar template below does not reflect the year 2008. All links have been checked 02/08/2008 to be sure they are working.
