Women of the American Revolution Reading Assignment and Worksheet
This quick four-page Reading Assignment and Worksheet provides an overview of the various activities, attributes and activities of women during the Revolutionary Era. It works well as a Guided Reading activity or as an exercise for Reading Comprehension.
It covers the time period 1763, the end of the French and Indian War and through the American Revolution to 1783.

Students can read this on their own as a homework assignment or it can be a group activity in a classroom.

Rosa Parks | Figurative Language Short Passage Set | Women's History Month
By Perfectly Planned Designs
This Figurative Language Short Passage Set about Rosa Parks is a no-prep, printable close reading activity that's perfect for middle school and high school. Use it during Women's History Month or any time of the year! Featuring Rosa Parks, this is a 216-word passage filled with 15 examples of figurative language, such as hyperbole, metaphor, simile, and personification. I’ve found that although my students can tell me the definition of these terms, simile is the only one they can truly pick out in a text. As a result, their writing is filled with overused similes that need work! This figurative language passage set is rigorous, uses higher-level words and phrases, and in addition to merely identifying the different types, students will be asked to discuss the impact it has on the reader, as they’re asked to do on standardized testing. Check out my other figurative language passage sets here!
Simply print and go! There is truly no preparation needed, which is why this set is perfect to leave for sub plans, bell ringers, homework, test prep, review or assessment!
*As an optional review activity, use my No-prep Four Corners Figurative Language Activity resource for a fun whole-group game, then use this passage set for assessment!
Activity:
Students can complete all three worksheets as part of a packet, but I suggest using one each day. If you teach allusion, alliteration, idiom, or onomatopoeia, you can ask students to include those in Task 2 where they will be asked to continue the passage using a similar writing style. I have left some blanks on the checklist for this very purpose.
Reflection:
The class can review the answers and comments as a whole group when the activity is complete. You’ll be surprised how much better they’ll get at figurative language after being exposed to some high-quality examples!

Women during Great Depression: DBQs and Primary Sources * APUSH * US History*
By Christa Nonnemaker
This 22-page resource with 26 primary sources, 27 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 opportunities. 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 during the Great Depression. These include newspaper pictures and articles about the difficulty of finding work, women's clubs, clothing advertisements, "wandering women", articles about women's need to be in the home, women's lack of equality in society as well as women's right and ability to hold jobs, photos of rural women, African-American women's activities and leisure activities, as well as excerpts from the Social Security Act and an ex-slave narrative. There are, of course, so many more documents and issues of the 1930s 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 many of the challenges of the era, although they also provide glimmers of progress during a troubled time.
Assign just one, a few or all of the sources depending on time constraints and student interest.
Primary sources include advertisements, photos, newspaper articles, excerpts 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.

Progressive Era Women: Primary Sources and DBQ's * APUSH * Women's History
By Christa Nonnemaker
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.
