This 25-page resource with 22 primary sources, 27 comprehension questions and 3 DBQ prompts gives students a chance to look in depth at women's experiences and contributions during the Progressive Era. The first two pages include Background, Notes on Primary Sources and Teacher Notes.

Here’s a chance for students to read documents and look at images that shed light on issues facing women and facing the country during the Progressive Era. These include photographs, speeches, newspaper articles, speeches, pamphlets and reports. Although some issues that Progressive women addressed pertained just to women, many issues were significant to both men and women. For the first time, due to the increased number of women's groups, women were able to influence society outside of the domestic realm such as working conditions, consumer safety, temperance and suffrage to name a few. And, these sources address the fact that discrimination and segregation of African-Americans remained an unresolved issue.

Assign just one, a few or all of the sources depending on time constraints and student interest.

Each page of primary sources includes comprehension questions at the end in order for students to analyze perspectives, consider key ideas and identify bias.

Included is a one-page sheet that explains what primary sources are and how to analyze them using specific questions through a process called HAPPY (Historical Context, Audience, Purpose, Point of View and Why Significant). There is also a page at the end for students to apply the HAPPY process to the sources.

Three DBQ prompts are included at the end with instructions on how to create a response to the prompt.

An Answer Key to all the comprehension questions and the DBQ prompts are available at the end of the packet. This is excellent practice for all high school students, particularly Honors and AP students, but all students will find these resources engaging.

This World War II women 27-page resource with 44 primary sources, 35 comprehension questions and 3 DBQ prompts gives students a chance to look in depth at women's experiences and contributions during World War II. The first two pages include Background, Notes on Primary Sources and Teacher Notes.

Here’s a chance for students to read documents and look at images that shed light on issues facing women and facing the country during World War II. These include photographs, speeches, newspaper articles, posters, pamphlets, letters and memoirs. Due to the sheer number of men going overseas to fight, women were needed to take on men's tasks, in the factories and on the farms, and even to serve as support staff in the military. African-American women, along with white women, were also needed due to labor shortages and had greater opportunities than ever before, but nonetheless still faced discrimination. Japanese-American women faced great challenges due to internment in camps throughout the western United States but still managed to contribute to the war effort and to endure the indignities of living in difficult situations.

Topics include the following:

Women Workers

Nurses during World War II

Women in the Military

Japanese-American Women

African-American Women

Victory Gardens and Rationing

Women's Land Army

Women Volunteers

End of War

Assign just one, a few or all of the sources depending on time constraints and student interest. This can be completed in one or two class periods.

Each page of primary sources includes comprehension questions at the end in order for students to analyze perspectives, consider key ideas and to identify bias.

The U.S. Women’s History Curriculum- Part 1 (1600-1920) contains Reading Assignments and Worksheets, Primary Source Analysis and DBQ’s and Power Point Lessons covering seven different eras.

This curriculum unit covers women’s experiences, contributions and perspectives from the pre-Columbian Native American era through the turn of the century, but also including the culmination of the Women's Suffrage Movement with the passage of the 19th Amendment.

The U.S. Women’s History Curriculum – Part 1 is an ever-evolving curriculum unit that includes not just the listed resources but any other resources that will be added in the future.

This curriculum unit can stand alone as its own course or can serve to supplement your United States History curriculum or AP United States History curriculum. These materials provide a more nuanced and complex look at how women participated in American society than is usually given in standard textbooks.

For 8th Grade through 12th Grade students, the Reading Assignments and Worksheets are excellent summaries of women’s experiences that are completed individually or as group exercises. Reading assignments are usually 2-3 pages with 1-2 page worksheets.

For APUSH students, the Primary Source Analysis and DBQ’s are excellent opportunities for students to delve deeper into questions relating to developments, changing attitudes and policies relating to women during critical times in U.S. History. These resources usually include anywhere from 9 to 25 primary sources which vary from excerpts from books, letters, diaries, journals, newspaper articles, lectures and more, photographs, drawings, paintings, graphs, charts, maps and more. They provide excellent practice in identifying change/continuity over time (CCOT), cause/effect and in assessing significance of events.

Teachers can deliver the Power Point Lessons live or can record them for online viewing by their students. Power Point Lessons are usually 12-20 slides.
