Resource Roundup: Women's History Resources

 Resource Roundup: Women's History Resources


Can You Guess Who It Is? Google Slides Template by SlidesMania

SlidesMania has two "Can You Guess Who It Is?" templates that would work great for younger scholars creating a collaborative Women's History Slides deck. Here is the pink version and here is the blue/green version.

Women's History Resources from BrainPOP

Women's History videos, activities, and quizzes you can assign in BrainPOP. YCSD teachers, please remember to sign in through Clever. 

25 Women's History Month Ideas for School

A list of 25 ideas for celebrating Women's History Month. Bulletin board ideas may not work for remote learning- but you could make an appropriate virtual background. 

Honor Women's History Month on Flipgrid

Women's History topics from the Discovery Library and Virtual Field Trip activities. Or you can have scholars use Flipgrid to report out on an individual or an event from women's history.

Out-of-This-World Women by Pear Deck 

Pear Deck has Elementary, Middle School, and High School Slides on women that influenced space exploration and include videos and interactive Pear Deck activities. 

Pear Deck Women's History Resources


Pear Deck has six decks about women of note including Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Cicely Tyson, Kamala Harris and others. 

Women's History activities from the Seesaw Community Activity Library. Or you can create your own Seesaw activity using other resources from this post. 

Discovery Education: Women in History


Discovery Education has curated this channel filled with videos and instructional activities about women in history. Videos/activities are divided by grade levels. 

National Women's History Museum Digital Classroom Resources

Digital classroom resources including videos, posters, infographics, lesson plans, timelines, quizzes, and primary sources for grades K-12+. There are more resources as grades increase, but the "Who do I admire?" lesson seems like it would adapt well to remote learning. 

Women's History Resources from the ADL

The Anti-Defamation League provides lesson plans on Women's History topics with an anti-bias emphasis. Lessons may need to be adjusted for remote learning. For example, the Mo'Ne Davis lesson has scholars sharing ideas with Post-it notes. Google Jamboard or a collaborative Google Slides deck would be a great substitution. If you would like help with tech substitutions, please reach out to the YCSD Technology Integration team- we would love to help.

Women's History Month Lessons from the Center for Civic Education


Lesson plans and resources about Women's History. Remote teaching will require some activities to be adapted to digital formats. Note: Even though there is a "Share to Google Classroom" button, it will only share the lesson plan. 

NEH EDSITEment's Women's History Resources


The National Endowment for the Humanities provides a Teacher's Guide with media resources, lesson plans, and student activities. Although the literary lesson plans seem to be geared towards high school, the student activities would adapt well to most grade levels. For example, creating a digital timeline of women in history or creating a film or presentation about a woman in history. Apple Clips would be great for this. 

ReadWriteThink Lessons on Women's History

ReadWriteThink has Women's History lesson plans for grades 3-12.

Women's History Month Resources from ScienceNetLink


Women's History Month resources with a scientific focus. Although there are some resources for K-5, there are many more for grades 6-12.

Women's History Teaching Materials from the Zinn Education Project

Women's History teaching materials and activities for grades 3-12 although they may need to be adapted for remote learning.
