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 suggest that you give activities with different accomplishments by different women. For example, tell them about Harriet Tubman, Emily Dickinson, Sojourner Truth, Joan of Arc, etc. You don't have to go over a lot with them but just the basics. Show them pictures of how the women looked or little cartoons for visual. I wouldn't go into details about each woman but give them a little background. Make the activities you give them fun. Instead of books (if it's hard for you to find one) print out something. Have them play a guessing game with each woman. Put up facts about each one and with prior knowledge or guessing skills have them tell you which woman goes with each statement. I would have fun with this lesson. |
