Scavenger Hunt:
This engaging and educational scavenger hunt is designed to introduce students to the history and significance of women's suffrage in the United States. This activity is tailored for middle and high school students, aiming to foster critical thinking, collaboration, and historical understanding.

Students embark on a journey through key moments and figures of the women's suffrage movement, solving clues to unravel the rich tapestry of this pivotal period in history.

The activity begins with an optional introductory overview which provides historical context. If using the in-class option, the teacher will explain the objectives of the scavenger hunt. Students are divided into teams and equipped with clue sheets necessary for their adventure. Each clue leads teams to different locations where cards are posted. If an individual activity, the student will read the Overview and then answer the clues on the provided sheet.

This scavenger hunt encourage students to think critically about the strategies, obstacles, and achievements of the suffragists, fostering a deeper understanding of the movement's complexities.

"Who Am I?" Game

This fun ice-breaker or culminating game is a great way for students to quickly gain knowledge or review past knowledge about the women's suffrage movement. The teacher can use the provided names which can be attached to student's backs, or they can take the names and add to post-its which can be attached to student foreheads.

These slides have been FLATTENED AND SECURED in order to protect the many hours of research and writing to create this resource. However, if you would like the full PowerPoint slide set in order to edit the slides, please contact me at cnonnemaker@gmail.com. Thank you for your understanding!

This 21-page resource with 24 primary sources, 24 comprehension questions plus 2 DBQ prompts gives students a chance to identify the tensions for women between tradition and progress in the 1920s, along with the new opportunites. The first page includes 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 in the 1920s. These include newspaper pictures and articles about flappers, a flapper's own writing about her life, the Equal Rights Amendment, an argument against the E.R.A., pictures of women at work, data about women's work, women's recreation and leisure activities, the impact of consumerism and a study on life in the 1920s from the famous Middletown sociological study. There are, of course, so many more documents and issues of the 1920s such as the Red Scare and the Scopes trial but these documents cover a broad range of what women experienced. Many of the political events of the time still minimized, or even excluded, women's input although sometimes women provided reflections, opinions and even participation when possible. Nonetheless, the included primary sources highlight much of the modern advances and developments for women which stood in contrast to many of the traditional views and expectations that held sway in America at the time.

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

Primary sources include letters, photos, newspaper articles, reports and other documents. 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. There is also a page at the end for students to apply the HAPPY process to one source.

Two 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 is also available as a digital resource through Easel so students may complete it online.
