The Women Who Shaped America Research Project allows upper elementary and middle grade students (grades 5-8 with some modifications) an opportunity to research one of 40 important, ground-breaking, and/or pioneering women and present their findings in a biographical essay.
These individuals include activists, scientists, athletes, trailblazers, politicians, authors, suffragists, and many more!
That's right: there are 40 individuals to choose from!
This research project is ideal for Women's History Month -- or any time of the year.
There is also an optional digital storytelling component utilizing the free iPad app, Shadow Puppet EDU. This part of the project again is optional. Students can still complete the biographical essay.

Just purchased to use as a research project for my SDC class. I like how it is broken down into chunks so I can teach it in sections. The graphic organizers are good and build on each other so the final writing product has all the information. The peer review is a great idea and allows the students to have a different perspective on writing. Also, like the plagiarism activity! Most students have a difficult time with this.
