For those in places like the United States, Europe, the UK, and Australiasia, the month of March is dedicated to Women\u2019s History Month; a time to celebrate women and their often undervalued and overlooked achievements throughout history.<\/p>\n

After a push to recognize women\u2019s history and achievements from activists and historians, Women\u2019s History Month was born \u2013 now an annual celebration around the world!<\/p>\n

Since the 1980s, the US has used the month of March to draw focus to famous women and how they championed things like civil rights, women\u2019s rights, women\u2019s suffrage (voting rights), and more.<\/p>\n

    Women\u2019s History Month Lesson plans<\/h5>\n

    This year, our partners at iCivics created Women\u2019s History Month resources with these weekly planners<\/a> focused on women\u2019s history with flexibility and choice in mind!<\/p>\n

    Each lesson plan focuses on a civic theme that places influential women at the forefront: important women in the courts, women in journalism, women in the executive branch, women in protest, and women in the office.<\/p>\n

    The planners also offer fun and unique Women\u2019s History Month activities! Some ask students to conduct research, while others call for watching a video or completing an iCivics\u2019 DBQuest. Heaps of these lessons can be assigned using Kami, like The Role of the Media<\/a> lesson, which lets teachers provide feedback and assess student understanding as students learn.<\/p>\n

    You can download the planners to incorporate the activity suggestions for the week, or, pick and choose the learning moments that fit best with your schedule. Share the activities as do-nows, in-class activities, discussion starters, homework assignments, extra credit, and more!<\/p>\n

    Find all of the planners and more resources on the iCivics website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
