Who Was/Is/Are? Women's History Month Biography Project Below you will find the step by step directions for our Third Grade Women’s History PBL Project. We would like to reiterate that YOU will be receiving all of the directions and aspects of the project at once, but your child will be receiving these instructions in SECTIONS as they finish each step. This project should not be started until all Homeroom reading/projects are completed. Who Was/Is/Are? Women’s History Month Biography Project Part 1 First, print out the Bio Project Graphic Organizer and the Bio Outline from your google classroom. Use these questions to help guide your note- taking in your writer’s journal. These notes will be helpful when writing your biography! Read two chapters of your book per day and write a reflection/summary in google docs and share with your homeroom teacher. Your reflection/ summary should be at least 5 sentences long PER CHAPTER. Part 2 Now your next step is to research for additional information that may not have been in your book. Please use safe sites online through your student homepage. Please take notes in your writers’ notebook. Part 3 Once you have finished your book, print all documents in the My Biography Project folder and follow the individual directions for each page. If you have a question when doing this- please email your homeroom teacher. We are planning on turning these pages into a book upon our return along with your biography, so please do each page NEATLY! Part 4 You are now ready to type your Biography rough draft. Please follow the Biography Outline Steps. These are specific guidelines/order for your report. Each section on the outline should be a paragraph in your biography. Answer each topic in your biography and share it with your homeroom teacher in google docs. Your teacher will then review your draft and set up a one-on-one virtual conference for revising. After your rough draft has been revised with your teacher, you are now going to make any changes and submit it to your homeroom teacher for a final grade. Remember this biography will be part of your final book project, so please read through your final draft carefully before submitting it. Check over for spelling, punctuation, and grammar mistakes. Part 5 Now that your biography is written and submitted, it is time to get started on your Google Slide Timeline! Using the timeline in the back of your Who Was/Is/Are books, as well as your additional research, create a google slide for each important date/year in your person’s life. Start off with a title slide! Afterward, each slide should include images and important facts that go along with this date/year in your famous women’s life. All slides should have a background, legibly font styles, and transitions between slides. Feel free to add transitions within each slide as well! (This is not a requirement but this helps make your show more interactive). Once completed please share with your homeroom teacher. This will be part of your presentation when we return to school. Part 6 (Optional) Who Said That? Directions: • Students will look up quotes and phrases from different influential women from the past and present. • Please choose between 5 and 8 quotes and phrases/women to create a bulletin board to display them. • Add a picture or name bank on your poster for students to match the people to the quotes. • Make it a quiz and reveal the answers with a lift the flap answer key *Please note this is an optional (but strongly encouraged) enrichment assignment Here’s an example: Here is a list of SUGGESTIONS for your name/picture bank: Abigail Adams, Amelia Earheart, Anne Frank, Annie Oakley, Clara Barton, Dolly Parton, Eleanor Roosevelt, Harriet Tubman, Helen Keller, J.K.Rowling, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Maria Tallchief, Marie Curie, Michelle Obama, Queen Elizabeth, Queen Victoria, Rosa Parks, Sacagawea, Sally Ride, Susan B.

  • Annie Oakley Topic Guide for Chronicling America (
    Annie Oakley Topic Guide for Chronicling America (http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov) Introduction Annie Oakley (1860-1926) was an American sharpshooter and exhibition shooter born in Darke County, Ohio, as Phoebe Ann Mosey. When she was five, her father died, and Annie learned to trap, shoot and hunt by age eight to help support her family. In 1875 (though some sources say it was in 1881), Annie met her future husband, Frank E. Butler, at the Baughman & Butler shooting act in Cincinnati, while beating him in a shooting contest. They were married a year later, and in 1885, they joined Buffalo Bill’s Wild West where she was given the nickname “Little Sure Shot.” Considered America’s first female star, Oakley traveled all over the United States and Europe showing off her skills. Oakley set shooting records into her sixties, and also did philanthropic work for women’s rights and other causes. In 1925, she died in Greenville, Ohio. Important Dates .

  • Art History High School Self-Guide
    Art History High School Self-Guide We are surrounded by portraits every day—from those on the dollar bills and coins in our wallets to the selfies found in social media and the photographs of our loved ones. Historically, portraiture was an important symbol of power and wealth. Now, readily reproducible and ever-more accessible through photography and modern printing techniques, portraiture has become democratic. This guide will help you and your students think about how we perceive and commemorate people from our history and will ask you to consider how portraiture has changed and remained the same over the past two centuries using highlights from the National Portrait Gallery’s collection. Take a map from one of the Visitor Services desk. Begin in American Origins on the first floor and take a close look at the self-portraits that were created in the nation’s early years, when the influence of European culture mingled with the spirit of the country’s recent independence. On the second floor, explore America’s Presidents and note how the depictions of our nation’s leaders have evolved over time. In 20th-Century Americans, on the third floor, you will find portraits in all mediums: prints, photographs, sculptures, painting and more. READING PORTRAITURE The prompts below will help you encourage your students to “read” a portrait before reading the museum label or other sources. They can also be used as a springboard for broader conversa- tions about art, history, and biography. 1. Start by having your students identify the specific choices that artists make when they create portraits.

  • Women's History Is Everywhere: 10 Ideas for Celebrating in Communities
    Women’s History is Everywhere: 10 Ideas for Celebrating In Communities A How-To Community Handbook Prepared by The President’s Commission on the Celebration of Women in American History “Just think of the ideas, the inventions, the social movements that have so dramatically altered our society. Now, many of those movements and ideas we can trace to our own founding, our founding documents: the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. And we can then follow those ideas as they move toward Seneca Falls, where 150 years ago, women struggled to articulate what their rights should be. From women’s struggle to gain the right to vote to gaining the access that we needed in the halls of academia, to pursuing the jobs and business opportunities we were qualified for, to competing on the field of sports, we have seen many breathtaking changes. Whether we know the names of the women who have done these acts because they stand in history, or we see them in the television or the newspaper coverage, we know that for everyone whose name we know there are countless women who are engaged every day in the ordinary, but remarkable, acts of citizenship.” —- Hillary Rodham Clinton, March 15, 1999 Women’s History is Everywhere: 10 Ideas for Celebrating In Communities A How-To Community Handbook prepared by the President’s Commission on the Celebration of Women in American History Commission Co-Chairs: Ann Lewis and Beth Newburger Commission Members: Dr. Johnnetta B.

  • Maria Tall Chief Maria Tall Chief
    Maria Tall Chief Maria Tall Chief (later changed to Tallchief) was born in Oklahoma in 1925. Her father was Osage Native American and her mother of Scotch-Irish descent. It had been an unrealized dream of her mom to study dance and music, so Maria and her sister Marjorie were enrolled early in dance and piano lessons. Maria was only three years old when she began dance classes. It wasn’t long before Maria and Marjorie were performing at local rodeos. When she was eight, Maria’s family moved to California with the hope finding an opportunity for the girls in show business. Her mother asked a pharmacist for a recommendation for a dance teacher and was referred to Ernest Belcher, who was Marge Champion’s father. Maria soon moved on to more noted classical teachers of dance, but was also continuing to study piano and saw herself as having a career as a classical pianist. However, she continued with dance and at 17 went to New York looking for a way into the classical world of dance. Tallchief was soon offered a place with the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo where she performed for five years. It was there that she met George Balanchine. She eventually married Balanchine and returned to New York. Balanchine had just founded the New York City Ballet and Maria became its first prima ballerina. She was the first American woman and the first Native American to be recognized world wide as a prima ballerina. She was the first American invited to dance with the Bolshoi.
