ENGAGING WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH ACTIVITIES

March can be a busy month that can easily get overwhelming super quickly. One way to not allow yourself to get swept away is to focus on one area, subject or skill – in this case, women in history.

INCORPORATE INTO YOUR CLASSROOM

The best resource is the one that is LOW PREP and can be used in a variety of ways. This Women in History Mini Unit is so versatile that it can easily be incorporated into your lesson plans.

This mini unit is perfect for stations, partnerships or even independent work!

• Stations: Set the resource out all month long as a station. Students can work through the tasks (podcasts, reading passages, and more) at their own pace. This allows students to take time and reflect on the impact each of the women in the mini-unit has had on the world today.
• Partnerships: A great opportunity for students to pair up and learn about the important contributions of women in history. Students working in partners or small groups is a great way for them to share ideas and think through assignments.
• Independent: Sometimes students working alone is the best option. There are so many tasks within the mini-unit that you can decide to have all students complete the same task at the same time or allow them the freedom to choose.

However you decide to incorporate the Women in History Mini Unit into your classroom will be a huge hit! If you are loving this product and want more research about important and influential women in history, check out this blog HERE with a bunch of Women's History Month Ideas.

This mini-unit is PACKED FULL of so many engaging Women's History Month activities that your students will be interested and working hard the entire month of March!
