  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!)
You could do a unit over influential women in history. I would focus on 5 women, one for each day of a 5 day lesson. I would give a short biography of each woman. I would do Pocahontas, Queen Elizabeth I, Eleanor Roosevelt, Mother Teresa, and Jane Goodall. This is a wide variety of influential women from different time periods. Here are a few links to books and articles about these women that could be read aloud to your students.
Pocahontas:

Eleanor Roosevelt
http://www.amazon.com/Time-Kids-Eleanor-Roosevelt-Biographies/dp/0060576138

Queen Elizabeth I

Jane Goodall

Mother Teresa
