Celebrating Women’s History Month: A Must-Teach Lesson for Your Classroom
March is Women’s History Month, and if you’re like me, you want to make sure your students are learning about the incredible women who shaped history—but without spending hours pulling together materials. That’s exactly why I created a FREE Women’s History Month lesson plan that you can grab right now. (More on that in a sec!)
Why Women’s History Matters
For too long, history has centered on men’s achievements while women’s contributions were sidelined or overlooked. Teaching women’s history isn’t just about adding a few names here and there—it’s about ensuring our students get the full story of how history was made. When we bring in women’s voices, students get to:
✅ See how women fought for change and shaped movements.
✅ Develop critical thinking by analyzing primary sources and different perspectives.
✅ Make connections to today’s world, because these fights for justice and equality aren’t over.
A Free Women’s History Lesson You’ll Actually Want to Use
