Women's History Curriculum Guide.
Ruthsdotter, Mary, Ed.; Eisenberg, Bonnie, Ed.
This curriculum guide is designed to facilitate teachers' first efforts to introduce information about women in U.S. history. The guide promotes a multicultural awareness of women's history beginning with the Native Americans and proceeding to current issues of diversity. Activities are divided for grades 1-6 and 7-12 but may be adapted as appropriate. Activities for grades 1-6 include a play about the life of Maria Tallchief; biographies of Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Jade Snow Wong, Dolores Huerta, Mary McLeod Bethune, and Harriet Tubman that can be read and used for class discussions and projects; cut-out puppets of the above women; and a "She Did It" wordsearch puzzle. Activities for grades 7-12 include Women's History news reports; research on Women and Work; a poster design contest; a family history; a mock trial for Susan B. Anthony; a dramatic re-enactment of Sojourner Truth's 1851 speech; and a Women's History biography study. Specific strategies for implementation of a women's history focus in the classroom are offered, as well as resource information and addresses of where to receive additional help on the topic. (EH)
