History - Changing lives of women

I taught this lesson to Year 9s on changing lives of women. The presentation is a starter activity that shows the changing images of women through time and cultures. The activity is a time line and the work sheet requires the students to get to a group of 5 or 6 and discuss the significance of events and place them in order of priority. The activity is meant to generate debate on 'interpretations' of significance of events in History. As The students discuss their reasons for choosing the timeline. At the end of the discussion and an understanding of their difference of opinions, we played James Brown's 'this is a man's world' as they were packing.
