Description
Celebrate Women’s History Month in March with this one-pager project that invites students to research important women in history while expressing their learning creatively. This research-based classroom activity works well as a standalone project, enrichment assignment, or culminating task during a Women’s History Month unit.
Students combine research, writing, and creative design as they analyze the life, accomplishments, and historical impact of an influential woman. The one-pager format encourages creativity while still requiring meaningful critical thinking and synthesis of information.
Completed projects make beautiful classroom displays, and students’ artwork creates eye-catching bulletin boards that celebrate Women’s History Month and highlight women’s contributions throughout history.
