Several ways to use this resource with students

  1. Assign each student a person and have them complete the same activities and projects.
  2. Assign each student a person and have them CHOOSE from the activities and projects.
  3. Give all of the articles to students and allow them to CHOOSE the woman that appeals to them.
  4. Split students into small groups. Assign each group a different woman. The group will then split the projects and activities accordingly among members.

I would suggest spending 2-3 weeks on this unit, depending on the length of time you have available with students.

  2. The SuperHERO Teacher Brittany Wheaton

    “I am in love with these posters. I teach math, but I used these posters in a hallway display to inspire students. Students in my school only get to see photos of white men in their history classrooms, so this is a wonderful, positive change of pace!!”

    -Lauren T.
