Though this is not connected to this chapter, it is important for students to learn about the Panama Canal.

Go to any of the sites listed below (or use the sites you have already read) and pick a woman who was alive sometime between 1870 and 1930. It can be one of the women you've already learned about in this unit, or someone else.
You will make a poster answering these questions about the woman:
1) Who was she and what did she do?
2) Why did you pick her?
In the same poster, please pick a woman who you know personally (your grandmother, mother, a teacher, etc.) who reminds you of the famous woman you picked to write about. Explain why she reminds you of that famous person.
