The 5èmes in the American International Section have been studying iconic American women this year to work on their use of the preterite and to add to their knowledge of American history. After reading extracts from the book Rad American Women A-Z by Kate Schatz, they each chose a woman from the book to research further. They made posters about the women they chose and gave oral presentations to the 6èmes. The presentations sometimes used video, so we all got to hear Odetta Holmes and Hazel Scott sing and see Florence Griffith-Joyner run.
Who are some iconic women that inspire you?
