* Analyzing Primary Sources

PowerPoint Presentation

This 15-slide PowerPoint presentation covers the women during the Industrial Revolution and the Gilded Age. It is an ideal lesson for the post-Civil War period or as a stand-alone resource for women’s history. It is also a good resource during Women’s History Month.

Each slide contains information and graphics that highlight women’s changing roles due to industrialization. It highlights the different experiences based on social classes as well as work experiences and early organizational efforts.

The PowerPoint slides are available both as PPT and PDF. Check the Bonus section for the additional file.

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

Reading Assignment and Worksheet

This three-page Reading Assignment and Worksheet provides an overview of the various activities, attributes and activities of women between 1865 and 1910 as the United States faced dramatic changes due to the Industrial Revolution. Students will learn about the growing divisions between social classes as well as early efforts to combat some of the issues facing the nation.
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.
Reading Assignment - 2 pages
Worksheet - 1 page

The worksheet is also available as a digital resource through Easel so students may complete it online.

Primary Source Analysis and DBQs

This 20 page Primary Source Analysis activity gives students a chance to delve deeper into women’s experiences and contributions during the Industrial Revolution and the Gilded Age. In addition, there are Document-Based Questions (DBQs) for students to complete.

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 speeches, essays, a declaration 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 APUSH 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.

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, Primary Source Analysis and DBQs and Activities for other eras.

In writing this book, I wanted to bring an unknown aspect of history to light. Available on Amazon or Kindle and I appreciate any reviews!

Pre-Writing Skills

• Hand-Eye Coordination: Following visual cues to trace lines accurately improves hand-eye coordination, directly translating to writing fluency and letter formation.

Cognitive Development

• Concentration and Focus: Tracing requires focused attention to stay within the lines, enhancing concentration and maintaining focus on a task. These skills are vital for future academic success.
• Visual-Spatial Awareness: Tracing helps children understand spatial relationships between lines and shapes, developing visual-spatial awareness crucial for reading, writing, and problem-solving.

Emotional and Social Benefits

• Confidence and Self-Esteem: Completing tracing activities fosters a sense of accomplishment and boosts self-esteem, motivating students to continue learning and exploring.
• Creativity and Self-Expression: Tracing can be a playful and creative activity, allowing students to experiment with colors and patterns, fostering self-expression and a love for learning.

Word Tracing

• Letter Formation: Tracing words helps students solidify their understanding of letter shapes and proper letter formation, preparing them for independent writing.
• Vocabulary Development: Tracing familiar words reinforces their spelling and meaning while tracing new words introduces them to new vocabulary words in a fun and engaging way!
