Celebrate Women's History Month!
Each March, Education World recognizes women's history month with new classroom teaching resources. This year, we're excited to bring you several valuable tools -- including a Women's History WebQuest, Women of the Century.
This WebQuest will challenge your students to work cooperatively as they create a women's history encyclopedia to supplement outdated and sorely lacking textbooks!
Also this week:

In addition, don't miss this week's CURRICULUM story,
Kids Fill the Gap in Women's History!
In this story, you'll meet the teachers (and some of the kids) behind three wonderful student-created online resources for teaching about women's history.
And, of course, this week teacher Walter McKenzie reviews ten great sites for teaching women's history in this week's installment in our Great Sites for Teaching About…
series. And be sure to read our review of a new book, Outrageous Women of the Renaissance.
