Step 2: Spark conversation and appreciation for women's history

FOR GRADES K-3

  • Rosa Parks helped make big changes. What would you change about your school or town? Make a sign that shares a message.
     

  • Nearly every town or community has a statue, plaque, road, or public space named after someone. Some of these are named after people whose contributions have been forgotten. Together, do research online or at the library to find out why the person is being honored.

FOR GRADES 3-8

​

  • What role did Hopper's gender play in her Navy assignment?
     

  • How is Hopper's work still used today?

After the movie, use these prompts to discuss what you learned to extend and deepen understanding.
