Instructional Ideas

• Attach the quotations to the previously constructed museum display of congresswomen
• Extend the lessons and have groups research and create displays for congresswomen who have served from 2006 to the present

Classroom Considerations

• The resource is the last in a series of seven that research the contributions of congresswomen from 1917–2006

Pros

• The packet includes a quotation analysis worksheet

Cons

• The series concludes with 2006; however, another lesson focusing on women who have served since 2006 could be added
