Engage students in Women's History Month with digital project work
Use these examples of projects created by students to inspire your digital project work connected to Women's History Month.
Creative use of tools like Wixie engages students in the curriculum and builds essential skills for the digital age.
Inform others with an ABC book
Have your class create an ABC book to showcase their learning and raise awareness about women's history. Students can create entire ABC books on their own, or have each student create a single page and combine into a class book.
Lesson plan
Raise awareness of women's history
Students raise awareness of the contributions of women today, or in history, by researching, designing, and publishing trading cards about their work.
Celebrate poetry written by women
Create visual versions of your favorite poems written by women or use them to inspire your own poem using a "blackout" method. Host a poetry night where you present and read them aloud.
Create timelines to share knowledge
Students conduct research about an important woman in history (or science, math, medicine, politics...) and share information about their life in a timeline.
Publish a historical newsletter
To help students better understand the perspectives of those in different times and cultures, have them develop newsletters that recall and retell historic events.
