  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.

Maybe you could teach a lesson on inventors and emphasize the role that women played in many inventions we use today. A great website for this subject is http://www.women-inventors.com/. The students could focus on one woman and her invention and maybe come up with ideas or a design to improve or change the invention to make it better.
