Step into a time machine! Created as an introduction to the time period when Mary McLeod Bethune grew up, this glimpse into 1880 would be great for anyone studying reconstruction or anything else about the late 1800's. This gives students real life connections that they don't always understand in our current world, such as a lack of technology and the difference in gender roles. It also touches on women's suffrage and civil rights. Let your students step into the time machine and experience 1880 in a way they are sure to remember. Tested with real students in the classroom of Heidi Raki.
