Celebrate Women's History Month!
http://www.educationworld.com/a_special/women_history.shtml
Each March, Education World -- and the rest of the world -- recognizes Women's
History Month. Here you will find lessons, activities, and resources to involve
your students in the study of women's contributions to the world. Following are
just a few examples of the lesson ideas you will find:
* Women of Accomplishment -- A question a day about women's history.
* Women of the Century -- This WebQuest challenges students to create an
encyclopedia of notable women.
* Honoring the American Woman -- Lessons recognize and celebrate the
accomplishments of women throughout history.
* Bring Women's History to Life! -- Activities relate to important women of the
past and present.
* Women Who Left Their Stamp on History -- Learn more about five famous women.
**** PLUS! ****
Why Not a Woman?
In this WebQuest, some members of Congress agree that a new federal holiday
should be added, but only if that holiday honors an important woman. Students
are charged with nominating a woman important enough for this honor.
