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WebQuest will challenge your students to work cooperatively as they create a women's history encyclopedia to supplement outdated and sorely lacking textbooks!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:
How Are You Doing With My Crusade? In this week's submitted lesson plan, students learn about women who
fought for change and explore the current status of the battles they fought.
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.
Women of Accomplishment: An Internet Scavenger Hunt Neglected for years, the historical contributions of women are celebrated in this online scavenger hunt. Supplement your textbooks with the other half of history!
Women's History Gets its Due on the Web Often overlooked by historians, women have contributed to the development of national and international societies just as men have. Why should you turn your attention to women of the past? Their stories may encourage young girls in your classes to make
their mark on the history of tomorrow!
