Item description

The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood lends itself to compelling research opportunities for high school students. This low-prep, standards-based project has students investigate topics related to women’s history and human rights around the world: from America (the Fourteenth Amendment, Equal Pay Act, Equal Rights Amendment, etc.) to Canada (the Royal Commission on the Status of Women in Canada, National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, etc.), from the Middle East (Benazir Bhutto, the Taliban’s treatment of women, the Organization of Women’s Freedom in Iraq, etc.) to Mexico (Laureana Wright de Kleinhans, First Feminist Congress of the Yucatan, etc.). Thirty-nine topics are addressed. Supporting materials—including a detailed scoring rubric—are provided. Materials are delivered in Word Document and PDF formats. Ultimately, students will perform the following tasks:

  • Articulate connections between a research topic and the assigned text
  • Conduct research using available resources
  • Collect and classify reliable sources
  • Develop successful methods of recording information
  • Evaluate the credibility of nonfiction texts, taking into consideration readability, date, relevance, expertise, and bias
  • Apply conventions of MLA formatting
  • Correctly site resources to avoid plagiarism
  • Organize information in a cohesive manner, using a note-taking system that includes summary, paraphrasing, and quoted material
  • Analyze, synthesize, and integrate information, generating a thoughtfully comprehensive report, free of generalities and redundancies
  • Present information in a formal, coherent manner

Materials are available for teaching a variety of texts such as:
