The Debate on Affirmative Action
By Sarah Austin
Affirmative Action had been a contentious issue in the United States since the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960's. The Supreme Court’s 2023 decision to reject race-conscious admissions at colleges and universities around the nation upended decades of law and the higher education landscape. This lesson will invite students to draw connections between the past and today, as they take a focused look at affirmative action as it applies to admission programs at universities. Students will be provided with an introductory framework from which to understand the historical roots of affirmative action and its' controversial application today through the analysis of primary sources, research, and student-led discussion forum activity.
Time Frame: 2-3 class periods (Based on 60 min class period)

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. Due to increasing pressures from Great Britain, colonists began to resist and women, for the first time, became involved on a political level as activists. 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 about women's contributions. A Worksheet with questions based on the reading is included, along with an Answer Key.

Women of the American Revolution: DBQs and Primary Sources *APUSH*
By Christa Nonnemaker
This 20-page Primary Source Analysis and DBQ activity gives students a chance to learn about the contributions and changing roles of women during the Revolutionary Era between 1763 and 1783. 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.
