Hello My Fellow Educators
I hope you are all well and Spring is coming our in your neck of the woods. As I started planning for March several weeks back, I noticed the Revolutionary Women research project in was in the Liberal and National Revolutions section in Era 6. This is one of my favorite projects of the year because it not only spotlights the important role women played in during the time period but, it allows students to learn about figures they might not have otherwise learned about. Now while I understand the reason this activity is placed in this section I actually think it works better for our class in section 6.4 and the Transformation of Labor in WHP - Origins. This section also features the World Tour of Women's Suffrage which I include as sourcing for their project. In addition, I think featuring the project at the start of the month of March provides background for the celebration of Women's History Month. Now I will say one of the challenges of this project can be the lack of information about some of the figures themselves. This can be frustrating for some of our students so, I do recommend doing a background check for all of the names provided as not all can truly allow our students to do a deep dive research project on. I am wondering if any use this project, what are your thoughts on it, and do you use it for Women'a History Month or is there another activity you do with your class?
