Post 5 signal phrases and 3 block quotes from Half the Sky. Indicate the page numbers and list the members of the group who participated.

Students can include the signal phrase with the block quote as well. Do not forget the page numbers.

Let us know of any community gatherings or activities/programs for Woman's History Month/Day and activities/programs reflecting on war/peace. Perhaps we can go on a field trip.
