  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 would first ask my supervisor if a more age appropriate lesson might be more beneficial to my third grade students. Boys and girls at this age tend to separate in class, in the lunchroom and at play. You could work classroom activities in boy girl activities, create seating arrangements that allow boys and girls to sit together and playground games that require boy girl cooperation.
I don't think 3rd graders would understand women sufferage if they don't know what a vote is.

Comments: I think you are underestimating the capability of thirdgraders. 8 year olds understand what a vote is. I also don't think encouraging separation of children based on gender is a good idea.

Comments: Gender sensitivity starts early. Third grade is certainly an appropriate age.
