90 Second Social Studies Famous American Women
By The Magical Avocado
Women's History IS American History! This ready to edit slide presentation has 35 slides highlighting famous American Women. Using during Women's History Month, as daily bellwork, student projects, learning about various times in history, and more!
What is a 90 Second Social Studies Assignment?
90 Second Social Studies Assignments introduce students to a large amount of information in a relatively short amount of time. The 90 second time limit serves as both a way to keep students on task, and to promote the idea of summarizing key details. 90 Second Social Studies Assignments can cover concepts, historical figures, landmarks, and events.
Why does this assignment use Google Slides?
One of the issues with student presentations is the transition time between student presenters. When the presentations are all on the same google slide, transitions become seamless. Google Slides also enables students to work simultaneously on the assignment, and for teachers to observe edits and work in real time.

Women of the American Revolution: PPT Lesson with Easel Activity and Assessment
By Christa Nonnemaker
This 13-slide PowerPoint presentation covers the Revolutionary Era between 1763 and 1783. The Pre-Revolutionary Era lasted from 1763 through 1776 and the Revolutionary War lasted from 1776 to 1783. It is an ideal lesson for the Revolutionary War period or as a stand-alone resource for women’s history. The presentation includes descriptive text as well as primary sources. It is also a good resource during Women’s History Month.
Each slide contains information and graphics that highlight how women contributed during this period. Unlike during the Colonial Era, women began to take part politically, albeit in the form of writing or in choosing to boycott British goods. Nonetheless, it was a shift in women's roles in which women did not have a voice. This period challenged Americans to ask themselves what they sought in their new country. Not surprisingly, some women and African-Americans questioned whether they too should have equality in society. This question was not satisfactorily answered as a result of the war, but it did at least offer a platform wherein some people could pose the questions.
This file is in PDF but if you'd also like the Power Point file, please email me at cnonnemaker@gmail.com.
There is also an Easel Activity and Assessment. Whether for standard classroom use, Home Schoolers or for asynchronous learning, these are valuable digital tools. The Easel Activity includes a Speech Bubbles activity and a Talk With Someone from the Past activity. The Easel Assessment includes Multiple-Choie and True/False questions.
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 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!

By Christa Nonnemaker
Perfect for Veteran's Day!
This Unit Resource Teaching Bundle contains the following resources:
* Women during World War II: Primary Sources and DBQ's
* Women during World War II: Reading Assignment and Worksheet
* Women during World War II: Power Point Lesson
Topics in these resources including the following:
- Women Workers
- Nurses during World War I
- Women in the Military
- Japanese-American Women
- African-American Women
- Life on the Home Front
- Victory Gardens and Rationing
- Women Volunteers

Primary Source Analysis and DBQ's
The 27-page Primary Source and DBQ resource with 44 primary sources, 35 comprehension questions and 3 DBQ prompts gives students a chance to look in depth at women's experiences and contributions during World War II. The first two pages include Background, Notes on Primary Sources and Teacher Notes.
Here’s a chance for students to read documents and look at images that shed light on issues facing women and facing the country during World War II. These include photographs, speeches, newspaper articles, posters, letters, pamphlets and memoirs. As this was "total war", women were needed in all sorts of capacities in the workforce, the military and on the home front. African-American women also found opportunities, despite ongoing discrimination and segregation. Japanese-American women faced great challenges due to internment in camps, although a few were able to avoid that circumstance.
Assign just one, a few or all of the sources depending on time constraints and student interest. This can be completed in one or two class periods.
Each page of primary sources includes comprehension questions at the end in order for students to analyze perspectives, consider key ideas and identify bias.
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 (Historical Context, Audience, Purpose, Point of View and Why Significant). There is also a page at the end for students to apply the HAPPY process to the sources.
Three DBQ prompts are included at the end with instructions on how to create a response to the prompt.
An Answer Key to all the comprehension questions and the DBQ prompts are 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.
Please note that this NOT an editable file.
A bonus file is also included: How to Integrate Sources into DBQ's.

U.S. Women's History Curriculum Unit - Part 1 (1600-1920) * U.S. History * APUSH
By Christa Nonnemaker
The U.S. Women’s History Curriculum- Part 1 (1600-1920) contains Reading Assignments and Worksheets, Primary Source Analysis and DBQ’s and Power Point Lessons covering seven different eras.
This curriculum unit covers women’s experiences, contributions and perspectives from the pre-Columbian Native American era through the turn of the century, but also including the culmination of the Women's Suffrage Movement with the passage of the 19th Amendment.
The U.S. Women’s History Curriculum – Part 1 is an ever-evolving curriculum unit that includes not just the listed resources but any other resources that will be added in the future.
This curriculum unit can stand alone as its own course or can serve to supplement your United States History curriculum or AP United States History curriculum. These materials provide a more nuanced and complex look at how women participated in American society than is usually given in standard textbooks.
For 8th Grade through 12th Grade students, the Reading Assignments and Worksheets are excellent summaries of women’s experiences that are completed individually or as group exercises. Reading assignments are usually 2-3 pages with 1-2 page worksheets.
For APUSH students, the Primary Source Analysis and DBQ’s are excellent opportunities for students to delve deeper into questions relating to developments, changing attitudes and policies relating to women during critical times in U.S. History. These resources usually include anywhere from 9 to 25 primary sources which vary from excerpts from books, letters, diaries, journals, newspaper articles, lectures and more, photographs, drawings, paintings, graphs, charts, maps and more. They provide excellent practice in identifying change/continuity over time (CCOT), cause/effect and in assessing significance of events.
Teachers can deliver the Power Point Lessons live or can record them for online viewing by their students. Power Point Lessons are usually 12-20 slides.

Here’s a chance for students to read documents and look at images that shed light on issues facing women and facing the country during World War I.

Suffragists saw an opportunity to help support the war and their own cause. Additionally, African-Americans from the South, lured by jobs and opportunities in the North, came to the North in large numbers as part of the Great Migration. Some fallout from the war included the Spanish flu epidemic and the Red Scare, which affected women directly and indirectly.
