  Case: Women's Accomplishments Lesson
I am placed in a 3rd grade classroom for my field experience. My university supervisor wants my lessons to be culturally sensitive with special attention to gender issues. She especially asked that I plan and teach a lesson on women's accomplishments. I really don't know what to do. I am not very knowledgeable on this topic. She said I could use children's literature—picture or chapter books. Any help will be appreciated. What should I teach? Please suggest books and perhaps give me the links for the books.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
If you are a Georgia educator, you're in luck! There is a Social Studies Georgia Performance Standard that includes the study of women!

SS3H2 The student will discuss the lives of Americans who expanded people's
rights and freedoms in a democracy.
a. Paul Revere (independence), Frederick Douglass (civil rights), Susan B. Anthony
(women's rights), Mary McLeod Bethune (education), Franklin D. Roosevelt
(New Deal and World War II), Eleanor Roosevelt (United Nations and human
rights), Thurgood Marshall (civil rights), Lyndon B. Johnson (Great Society and
voting rights), and César Chávez (workers' rights).
b. Explain social barriers, restrictions, and obstacles that these historical figures had
to overcome and describe how they overcame them


You can write a mean lesson plan about Susan B. Anthony, Mary McLeod Bethune, and Eleanor Roosevelt! There are plenty of resources at your fingertips on these women!

If you need some more women, consider Sally Ride and Hillary Clinton. Your best idea is to stick with the ladies in the GPS, because there's lots and lots of ready made material and books on this subject! Good luck!
