Instructional Ideas
- Flip the lesson and have class members read the essay, "Onto the National Stage: Congresswomen in the Age of National Crises 1935–1954," and answer the comprehension and critical thinking questions out of class, saving class time for discussion and the main exercise
Classroom Considerations
- The second in a series of seven related resources focusing on women in congress
- The central activity is identical to the one in the first resource in the series; however, the exhibits for this lesson will focus on different congresswomen
Pros
- The four-page packet includes links to the essay and additional resources, discussion and comprehension questions, and suggested activities
Cons
- None of the documents are included in the packet; however, links to these resources are provided
