Life Grid: First Ladies Early Lives

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

While the resource won't seem like much at first glance, it could actually prove to be very handy. Learners fill in a grid that contains life facts on the Y-axis and the names of first ladies on the X-axis. Great for documenting facts and making connections. Try using this as a template for countries, famous people, or even historical events.
