Description and Objectives

The objectives of this United States History Bee for Women’s History Month are:

1.         to make all students aware that March is Women’s History Month.  Each day the students will hear in the school’s daily bulletin information about an American woman who made history.

2.         to encourage students to be knowledgeable of history.  Several students are chosen to represent each history class to participate in a school wide History Bee.  The Bee questions test knowledge of American History and Women’s History.  Most of the questions are chronological and build on information gained from previous questions and answers.

3.         to set up a display of Women’s History related books, magazines, videos, software and other resources in the student and city library and in local bookstores for students and other members of the community to study.        

To the organizer

1.   PICK A DATE AND TIME 

Decide what date in late March or early April the Bee will be held.   Pick a date after all the daily history clues/information have been announced.  Choose a time of day for the Bee.   Most schools conduct the Bee during lunch or after school.  The Bee takes about one hour to complete.  Early in the month of March distribute the Bee information to the librarian and to the typist and discuss with them what to include in the library’s resource display and how best to announce the daily history information.  In the past, a few schools did decided to skip the Bee at the end of the month and only announce the daily history information.  They awarded daily prizes for daily Bee questions. This works, however, I think the school wide Bee is the most enjoyable part of the project.   Also, the student leadership classes at some schools help organize the Women’s History Month Bee activities:  make publicity posters, act as scorekeepers, etc.

2.  SELECT PARTICIPANTS

Announce to history teachers that by the end of the month of March they are to choose one or two students from their classes to participate in the Bee.  Teachers can choose interested students or give students a short qualifying test.   Collect all the names of the participants before the day of the Bee. 

3.  ORGANIZE PARTICIPANTS  It is best to limit the number of participants to 30 because there are 30 questions (one questions for each student) in each round.  Larger groups should split into groups of 30 and compete in different rooms.  One 6th grade teacher has her entire class participate and then the winners from each class compete in the final rounds.  On the day of the Bee, assign each student a chair number (1-30).  Have the students arrange the chairs in a half circle facing you and then have them sit in their assigned chair.  The scorekeeper keeps track of the time (students have 15 seconds to answer their question) and the scorekeeper keeps track of correct and incorrect answers.  If a student answers two questions incorrectly he or she must leave his or her chair and join the audience at the end of that round.  Hopefully, all students can answer the Round 1 question and will not have to leave their chair until Round 4.  However, Round 1 are just as difficult as questions in the later rounds and you can decide to make Round 1 a practice round.

4.  PUBLICIZE WINNERS Announce participants and winners to all students, parents and the community.  Invite the local newspaper to watch and take photographs.  Congratulate the top three winners with certificates, prizes and/or their photo in the yearbook.  Award all participants with certificates or a small food prize.

To the librarian

Gather together all materials you have relating to Women’s History and set up a display in your library.  Ask the city librarian and local bookstores to set up a resource display too.

Here is a list of the books and resources I used to write this Bee.

To the Typist

Please type the introduction once a week during the month of March and type one biography each day. 

Introduction: 

The month of March is Women’s History Month.  A recent study of new history textbooks showed that very few books report any information on women inventors, women scientists, women artists, women soldiers, etc....so most of us grow up learning that women are not important in history.  Find out the facts about women who should be in our US  history textbooks.  Visit the displays in the school and city library.  Each day this month this bulletin will feature information on an American woman who made history..but might not have made it into your history textbooks.  Come test your knowledge of Women’s History at the History Bee at the end of this Month.

To the reader of the questions

            1.         Pre-read the questions before the day of the Bee. Answers are listed but your judgment is final.  On the day of the Bee you many want to trade jobs  with the scorekeeper halfway through the Bee so you are not reading so much. 

            2.         Make the first round a practice round if you think the questions are too difficult.

            3.         Keep the pace going fairly quickly.  Say “correct” if the student is correct and “incorrect” and then announce the correct answer if the student is incorrect.  Then go on to the next student and next question.   You and the students can “rest” at the end of the round.

                4.         The Bee should take approximately one hour to complete.

To the scorekeeper

            1.         Assign each student to a seat in a semi-circle facing you. 

            2.         If there are more than 30 participants spilt the group into different rooms.

            3.         Keep track of correct and incorrect answers.  If a student misses 2 answers he or she leaves after the round is over and joins the audience.

To the Bee participants

You were selected by your teachers to participate in (school name)’s annual Women’s History Bee to celebrate the month of March as Women’s History Month. Women’s History is not a separate history from United States history, but the contributions of women are not always in our history books.  If we learn history without it’s women, we learn that women are not important.  As you found out in the daily bulletins each day this month,  women have had an important role in shaping US history and have made contributions in all fields from art, economics, literature, music and science. 

Thank you for participating and good luck to all of you!

The rules are:

            1.         You have 15 seconds to answer each question.

            2.         You may ask to have the question repeated before the scorekeeper calls “Time”.

            3.         Wait until the reader finishes the question before answering.  Once the round has begun there is no talking unless it is your turn or you will be disqualified.  Many questions build upon answers to previous questions.  Also, the same answers can be used more than once.

            4.         If you miss one question you are still in the contest.  If you miss two questions you will join the audience after that round is over.
