Introduction
Life has not always existed for women as we know it today. Can you imagine yourself as a historian, sociologist, fashion designer, or media mogul living where women never used to vote, attend school, or hold a professional job?
This is an opportunity for you and your classmates to imagine and research living and working in the years 1800-present. This is a very real mission. The President and Congress of the United States has asked you to complete a report comparing the past and present societal attitudes and roles of women in our country so that a new memorial : Break-the-Mold of Stereotypes in American History can be constructed in Washington, D.C.
You are a government researcher, part of a design team, assigned to develop a a report comparing the past and present attitudesm fashions, and roles of women. Your audience is the President and Congress of the United States, who fund such projects. Your design tool is any web page authoring tool, and your presentation will be in the form of a multimedia scrapbook/web page. You'll collect information, images, and insights from the Internet and other resources and exhibit them into web pages. You'll be working in teams where group members take on different roles and look for certain kinds of information, answers, and ideas across the 200 year time span. When your web site is finished, you'll be richer for the knowledge you have shared as you've planned and produced it. Who knows, the President may even commend you in a school assembly?!
In gaining background information, and in completing the project, you may want to consider some of the same big picture questions that American people have asked themselves:
Be prepared to defend in which ways are women still discriminated, if any.
