Travel with the woman through time, visiting locations that show the history of her cause. Finally, write a story about your experiences. Be sure to clearly explain the progress, or lack of progress, in accomplishing the woman's goals, and describe how she feels about the current status of the issue. Students read the articles at Past Times or printed copies of selected articles from the site. Each student selects a cause.
Students use library or online resources to learn about the current status of their chosen issues.
For example, Leta Stetter Hollingworth tried to create new methods for teaching gifted students. A student who chose Hollingworth might learn about options for teaching gifted children today, including how they are taught in your district. Assessment Assessment is based on evaluation of the written assignment. An oral presentation might also be required.
