Any engaging ideas for Women's History Month that have worked in your classes?

Jazmin Puicon , it is not really a high level activity, but I found that displaying some children's books about women will often start a conversation in class. We had a great discussion on Madame CJ Walker the other day after I displayed "The First Woman Millionaire!" A few of my students started watching a Netflix mini series that was based on her life after they learned about her from the book. I was surprised how many students had never heard her name before!

One thing I like to do during the various months is do a group self audit of our class curriculum thus far in the year. So basically I will be like: "in honor of ___ history month, I would like to do a self check and hold myself accountable for telling the often ignored history of _____ in our class. Today we will look through everything we have learned so far this year and count up all the times that ____ was mentioned. Then you will decide how well represented ____ is in the curriculum and suggest any changes to improve on our integration of _____ history." Kids like this kind of activity because it gives them a chance to criticize you and give you feedback  and also it does help hold me to account.

Here's an older thread that might help you! I assigned this Revolutionary Women Mini-Book Project to my 9th grade World History students at the beginning of the month. Then we had a "symposium" where they shared their books with each other and reflected on what they learned from each other.
