Instructional Ideas

  • Send learners home with the exhibit link so they may better familiarize themselves with the information
  • Allow pupils to visit the library or search sites to gather additional information for extra credit 
  • Invite parents and guardians to visit the classroom and view the "conversational party"

Classroom Considerations

  • Learners should be familiar with American history starting with Pocahontas 
  • Women's History Month takes place in March 
  • Schedule time in the computer lab, or on mobile learning devices for the exhibit portion of the lesson   

Pros

  • Offers a printing option if a class set of computers or mobile learning devices are not available 
  • Focuses on people of similar age as your class members 

Cons

  • None
