Notable American Women Biography Posters

Display the posters as a gallery walk and have students take notes on two or three women. They also work as short reading passages for small groups or as starting points for a biography report.

Eight posters after the cover, each with a portrait, the woman's years, a biography paragraph and a Did you know? box. The women are Susan B. Anthony, Maya Angelou, Gertrude Ederle, Amelia Earhart, Eleanor Roosevelt, Harriet Tubman, Sally Ride and Shirley Chisholm. The paragraphs cover events such as Ederle swimming the English Channel on August 6, 1926, and Chisholm becoming the first Black woman elected to Congress in 1968.

These are written for 3rd Grade to 5th Grade students, roughly ages 8-11. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.

Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a 3rd Grade to 5th Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
