By Christa Nonnemaker
This Teaching Bundle contains the following items:
* PowerPoint Presentation
* Reading Assignment and Worksheet
* 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.
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 and I appreciate any reviews!

Respect and Boundaries Workbook for Middle School | No prep Worksheets |
By Elena Tenisi
Boundaries workbook geared towards upper middle school students. Students are first introduced to what a boundary is, are shown four different types, and are given guidelines as to how they can respect others boundaries.
Students are then provided with six different activities. Activities include:
1. A boundaries sort. Students will be provided with different scenarios. They’ll have to distinguish if a boundary is being crossed or respected.
2. Self reflection. Students will have to evaluate which boundary they struggle with the most, challenges they’ve faced when trying to follow others boundaries, and who they struggle setting boundaries with the most.
3. Responses sort. Students will be provided with different ways they can respond to after they’ve crossed a boundary. They’ll have to differentiate between responses that show their apologetic and responses that show their being manipulative and insensitive.
4. Boundaries circle. Students will get to map what they are comfortable with depending on who they’re with; family, friends, teachers, strangers, etc.
5. Self-reflection on what they’ll allow and won’t, depending on their comfort level.
6. Reflection on what they’ve learned and why boundaries are important.
Workbook ends with a boundaries pledge. Students are asked to sign if they can commit to setting and keeping others boundaries. This can be a great workbook to use in small groups or individual students who need to work on boundaries.

Iroquois & Algonquian Native American Scavenger Hunt (No Prep!)
By Miss Yous Clues and Resources
This is a scavenger hunt using task cards that analyzes how Iroquois and Algonquian tribes interacted with the environment and developed unique cultures which is studied in the 4th grade curriculum under the following standards:
4.2 Native American groups, chiefly the Iroquois (Haudenosaunee) and Algonquian-speaking groups, inhabited the region that became New York State. Native American Indians interacted with the environment and developed unique cultures.
4.2a Geographic factors often influenced locations of early settlements. People made use of the resources and the lands around them to meet their basic needs of food, clothing, and shelter.
4.2b Native American groups developed specific patterns of organization and governance to manage their societies.
Students will compare and contrast the patterns of organization and governance of Native American groups such as the Iroquois (Haudenosaunee) and Lenape, including matrilineal clan structure, decision-making processes, and record keeping, with a focus on local Native American groups.
4.2c Each Native American group developed a unique way of life with a shared set of customs, beliefs, and values.
This resource begins by challenging students with a mission, act as a treasure hunter to find the Moonstone Treasure from the attached fictional Iroquois folklore. Check out the preview to see what each task card entails. Students will need to walk around the room reading the task cards. Each task card has a code word on the bottom which is the answer to the question/fill in the blank. The answer will NOT be found on that same task card. For example, the answer to task card #1 is found by reading the passage on task card #6. Students MUST record which task card they found the answer on in their answer sheet under the “FOUND CARDS #” column. That column will be used at the end for the 4 digit lock code. They will follow the clues to find the correct 4 digit code. Once they have completed the scavenger hunt they will receive a half sheet of paper stating that they have successfully found the Moonstone!
This activity would be a great review before assessments, as a center activity, a group activity, etc. Students will be engaged with the learning while having a fun time trying to solve all of the clues!
