  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!)
I like that you are trying to be more gender inclusive in your curriculum. Many people posted good resources for you to learn about influential women in history. However, I would try to stray away from making this a seperate unit. This teaches students that we have normal accomplishments, and women accomplishments. Try to incorporate the contributions women have made to history, science, and art in your everyday teaching alongside men.
