  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!)
Since it is only a 3rd grade class I would recommend making the lesson very active. Monday through Wednesday I would teach a lesson on three influential women (The First Lady, Amelia Earhart, and Rosa Parks will do)I included the First Lady for a more modern influential woman it can always be changed. However I will teach about each woman on each day with handouts and a video. I don't really recommend a books unless it's really entertaining. On Thursday the students can split into three groups and come up with a small interactive presentation about each woman. On Friday they can possibly go to a younger classroom and present it to other children. This should ensure that the lesson is fun and memorable.
