Key ideas of the unit:
"1. Women were integral to the formation and evolution of early colonial settlements in the Americas.
2. The experiences of women in the early colonial period varied widely based on race, class, age, gender identity, and geographic region.
3. The full story of the early colonial period cannot be properly understood without considering the experiences of women."
As with all WAMS unit plans, "each resource includes background information and vocabulary lists to provide context. Resources also include suggested activities and how to combine different resources on a certain topic. You can easily integrate these materials into current lesson plans or structure new lessons around them. Many resources in this unit allow you to teach historical themes and topics in your curriculum by including the perspective of women in this era."
