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.
