This 22 page Primary Source Analysis activity gives students a chance to delve deeper into the early Women's Rights Movement which took place prior to the Civil War. They will be able to determine the motives and reasons behind the movement, who played key roles in advancing the movement and how and whether the movement was successful. In addition, there are two Document-Based Questions (DBQs). 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 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.

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 20-page resource with 22 primary sources, 25 comprehension questions plus 2 DBQ prompts gives students a chance to look in depth at women's experiences and contributions during the Civil War, on both sides. 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 during the Civil War. These include photographs, postcards, letters, diary entries, lectures and books. The Civil War affected women differently based on their geographic location, their socio-economic situation and their race. The sources represent the experiences of many of these different groups, and some which cross over. The included primary sources cover an expansive range of topics and address one of the key topics, which was how women pushed the boundaries of traditional expectations.

Primary sources include written text from Northern and Southern women, both white and African-American, as well as images.

Assign just one, a few or all of the sources depending on time constraints and student interest.

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 one source.

Two 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.
