  • To begin the unit, show the full-length documentary to provide context, and then use the resources to investigate Carries Chapman Catt's efforts in greater detail

Classroom Considerations

  • One of 18 resources in the PBS Carrie Chapman Catt: Warrior for Women collection
  • The video segment is from the full-length documentary

Pros

  • Support materials include links to the PBS Warrior for Women website that includes an interactive timeline and videos, as well as links to activities, research projects, and related resources

Cons
