    Your work is so neat and clear. Students loved the scavenger hunt, very interactive. I differentiated it more by giving more advanced speakers the one with directions/prompts in Spanish.

  22. Sra B –

    I like this activity! It introduces women that they’ve more than likely already learned about, so they have some background knowledge which in turn helps them feel less intimidated and less likely to give up when they don’t understand a small detail.

    This resources is thorough and comprehensible. I like that a digital option is included so that I can assign it online if needed.

    Thank you!

    I used this on a day I had to be gone at the last minute. the students made a table on a piece of paper and went around figuring out names, birthdays, description, any other information I understand. The sub left a note saying it went really well and that the students were commenting on how much they could read. I also love that it brings in some history as well since we teach on interdisciplinary teams in my building.
