Women’s History Month

3-5· 6-8

March is Women’s History Month!  I wanted to share a free lesson that you can use with a small window of time. This lesson can be used with upper elementary students and even in the middle school classroom.

A great and easy way to implement Women’s History Month in the classroom is through a quote analysis. I compiled 8 quotes by 8 great American women. I chose quotes that would be comprehensible for upper elementary students. This handout has a color option and a black and white option (seen below). 

Have students choose (or assign students) a quote to analyze. Students can write the meaning of the quote, how it relates to the woman who said it and even how they can relate it to their own lives. Be sure to have a dictionary on hand for difficult words. 
Depending on the level of your students, they can work individually, in pairs or groups.
(A “Quote Analysis” printable is included for you!)
 
There are a number of extension activities that you can add to this. Have students illustrate their quotes and display in the classroom. Ask students to find another quote from another famous woman in history. Finally, students could do more research on one of the women featured in the handout or another woman in history.
