Women during the Industrial Revolution: DBQs and Primary Source Analysis *APUSH*

By Christa Nonnemaker

Women during the Industrial Revolution: Primary Source Analysis and DBQs (1865-1920)

This 20 page primary source analysis activity gives students a chance to delve deeper into the experiences and contributions of women during the Industrial Revolution and the Gilded Age.

There is a total of 16 primary sources for students to analyze along with 18 comprehension questions. 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. Primary sources include excerpts from journals and books as well as images. Each page of primary sources includes comprehension questions.

There is also a page at the end for students to apply the HAPPY process to one source. There are two Document-Based Questions (DBQs). An Answer Key to all the questions and the HAPPY process is available at the end of the packet.

Depending on how much of the resource is utilized, it can be used for one or multiple class periods.

This is excellent practice for all high school students, particularly Honors and AP students, but all students will find these resources engaging.

There is also an Easel Assessment. For Home Schoolers or for asynchronous learning, this is a valuable digital tool.

This product was made for students to learn about the 50 states, the spelling of each state, and each state's abbreviation. This product includes slides that are made up of the states that begin with the same letter on each slide, as these states can be confusing. For example: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, and Arkansas as well as their abbreviations so students can see the difference. Slides that show states that don't have any similarities, like Georgia, and states that have two words, like New York, are also addressed.

Each slide is provided with the state name and the abbreviation. Students can attempt to fill in the blanks of the abbreviations that were reviewed on each previous slide as well. This helps students to learn the spelling, abbreviations, and location of each state. This product can be used for students who benefit from having material adapted and it can also be used with students who are on grade level as well.

There are two Document-Based Questions (DBQs). Included at the beginning 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, Why Significant). There is also a page of Teacher Notes. Primary sources include essays, letters, journal entries, images and cartoons. Each page of primary sources includes questions. There is also a page at the end for students to apply the HAPPY process to one source. An Answer Key to all the questions and the HAPPY process is 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.

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, college students or independent learners who want to learn more. Teachers can assign just a few sources to analyze or the entire packet. Student time will vary. Each page includes questions based on the primary sources, along with an Answer Key. There is also an answer key for the DBQ prompts.

There is also an Easel Activity which allows students to answer the questions at the end of each primary source online. For homework purposes, Home Schoolers or for asynchronous learning, this is an especially valuable digital option .

This is part of the Women in American History Series which includes PowerPoint lessons as well as Reading Assignments and Worksheets, Analyzing Primary Sources and DBQ's and Activities about women's experiences in other eras.

Thank you for your interest in this resource!

If you like World War II historical fiction, I have written a book called Hearts of War about a Nisei soldier who served in the Military Intelligence Service and a woman who served in the Women Army Corps. In writing this book, I wanted to bring an unknown aspect of history to light. Available on Amazon or Kindle Unlimited and I appreciate any reviews!

Thank you!
