*Revolutionary Women: Power Point Lesson

*Revolutionary Women: Reading Assignment and Worksheet

*Revolutionary Women: Primary Source Analysis and DBQs

Power Point Lesson

This 13-slide PowerPoint presentation covers the Revolutionary Era between 1763 and 1783. The Pre-Revolutionary Era lasted from 1763 through 1776 and the Revolutionary War lasted from 1776 to 1783. It is an ideal lesson for the Revolutionary War period or as a stand-alone resource for women’s history. The presentation includes descriptive text as well as primary sources. It is also a good resource during Women’s History Month.

Each slide contains information and graphics that highlight how women contributed during this period. Unlike during the Colonial Era, women began to take part politically, albeit in the form of writing or in choosing to boycott British goods. Nonetheless, it was a shift in women's roles in which women did not have a voice. This period challenged Americans to ask themselves what they sought in their new country. Not surprisingly, some women and African-Americans questioned whether they too should have equality in society. This question was not satisfactorily answered as a result of the war, but it did at least offer a platform wherein some people could pose the questions.

The Power Point presentation is available as a PDF and as a PPT file, included as a bonus file.

There is also an Easel Activity and Assessment. Whether for standard classroom use, Home Schoolers or for asynchronous learning, these are valuable digital tools.

This is also available as a digital resource through Easel. Students may review independently.

This four-page Reading Assignment and Worksheet provides an overview of the various activities, attributes and activities of women during the Revolutionary Era.

Women's contributions will be highlighted during the Pre-Revolutionary Era (1763-776) and the Revolutionary War (1776-1783).

Students can read this on their own as a homework assignment or it can be a group activity in a classroom. It is also ideally suited for home-schoolers or independent learners who want to learn more. A Worksheet with questions based on the reading is included, along with an Answer Key.
