* NEW LESSON PLAN *  MINORITY REPRESENTATION IN CONGRESS, 1937-38

Last month we featured the 75th Congress on our Congressional Timeline and this month we are highlighting a new addition – a lesson plan associated with this particular Congress, Minority Representation in Congress, 1937-38.

This lesson will introduce students to selected demographic features of one of the early New Deal Congresses. It will ask them to identify the characteristics of women members of the House and Senate—what qualities and experiences they shared, how they differed. Students may also compare and contrast the female membership in 1937-38 with female membership today.

Each month The Center plans to author a new lesson plan associated with a different session of Congress and post it on our Congressional Timeline.  This month we are featuring the 75th Congress (1937-39) -- http://www.congressionaltimeline.org/75thcongress_pg1.htm.
