Ladies first… for this month’s first spotlight, Women’s History! We’ve packed this spotlight full of famous women to celebrate Women’s History Month. You’ll find movies on  Amelia Earhart, Frida Kahlo, Judy Blume, Marie Curie, Oprah Winfrey, and more. BrainPOP Jr. movies for this spotlight include Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks and Susan B. Anthony. Test your knowledge on one of our favorite famous women in history, Jane Goodall, or learn more about Feminism with our FYI feature. Spotlight: The Law includes content covering topics such as Bill of Rights, Copyright, Miranda Rights, Supreme Court, and much more. BrainPOP Jr. also has a collection of law-focused movies including Branches of Government and Local and State Government. This month’s spotlight is full of valuable resources and includes a collection of Law Games on GameUp by our friends at iCivics, as well as lessons plans for educators to use in the classroom.
