- Assign each student a person and have them CHOOSE from the activities and projects.
- Give all of the articles to students and allow them to CHOOSE the woman that appeals to them.
- Split students into small groups. Assign each group a different woman. The group will then split the projects and activities accordingly among members.
I would suggest spending 2-3 weeks on this unit, depending on the length of time you have available with students.
These unique articles were written for the sole purpose of building students’ analyzing and comprehension skills.
