Description
This set of trifold brochures features 29 diverse historical and modern women that have contributed to fields of science, technology, and math in various ways. Perfect for biography reports and Women’s History Month, these foldable brochures are a great way to ensure your students are keeping their research organized and focusing on the most important aspects of the person they’re studying. This activity can easily serve as a note-taking template for an essay or presentation. It can also serve as the biography project itself! The brochures are perfect for integrating literacy into other subjects, especially science and social studies. Students will not only benefit from the experience of learning about these diverse figures, but they’ll practice their mapping and timeline skills as well. The organizers allow students to go beyond reading to really interact with the chosen text as they determine which facts are relevant. While this is a great activity for Women’s History Month, it can be used year round as well!

•Picture
