By Christa Nonnemaker

Perfect for Veteran's Day!

This Unit Resource Teaching Bundle contains the following resources:
* Women during World War II: Primary Sources and DBQ's
* Women during World War II: Reading Assignment and Worksheet
* Women during World War II: Power Point Lesson

Topics in these resources including the following:
- Women Workers

- Victory Gardens and Rationing

- Women Volunteers

Primary Source Analysis and DBQ's

The 27-page Primary Source and DBQ resource with 44 primary sources, 35 comprehension questions and 3 DBQ prompts gives students a chance to look in depth at women's experiences and contributions during World War II. The first two pages include Background, Notes on Primary Sources and Teacher Notes.

Here’s a chance for students to read documents and look at images that shed light on issues facing women and facing the country during World War II. These include photographs, speeches, newspaper articles, posters, letters, pamphlets and memoirs. As this was "total war", women were needed in all sorts of capacities in the workforce, the military and on the home front. African-American women also found opportunities, despite ongoing discrimination and segregation. Japanese-American women faced great challenges due to internment in camps, although a few were able to avoid that circumstance.

Assign just one, a few or all of the sources depending on time constraints and student interest. This can be completed in one or two class periods.

Each page of primary sources includes comprehension questions at the end in order for students to analyze perspectives, consider key ideas and identify bias.

Included is a one-page sheet that explains what primary sources are and how to analyze them using specific questions through a process called HAPPY (Historical Context, Audience, Purpose, Point of View and Why Significant). There is also a page at the end for students to apply the HAPPY process to the sources.

Three DBQ prompts are included at the end with instructions on how to create a response to the prompt.

An Answer Key to all the comprehension questions and the DBQ prompts are available at the end of the packet. This is excellent practice for all high school students, particularly Honors and AP students, but all students will find these resources engaging.

Please note that this NOT an editable file.

A bonus file is also included: How to Integrate Sources into DBQ's.
