This Focused IDM Blueprint was developed for the current PD course being conducted by Lisa Landers and Elise Butler at the Georgia Historical Society.  The end product for this 10 week webinar will be a Focused IDM Blueprint related to one of the Historical Markers in the Georgia Civil Rights Trail.  We used the C3 Focused IDM template which narrows the supporting questions to one and the primary sources are limited to the ones that help students answer that one question. The inquiry can be done in 1-2 class periods. The focused IDM model was developed by the C3 team in answer to teacher requests to have a shorter version they could integrate more often and with less intense teacher research time. This article in Social Education explains the Focused IDM: Questions, Tasks and Sources: Focusing on the Essence of Inquiry explains the approach.

At the heart of this IDM is the photograph   Social Studies/History    9 - 12    6 - 8    Georgia Civil Rights    Historical Markers  of the "Leesburg Stockade Stolen Girls" taken by Danny Lyon, a SNCC photographer hired to document the incarceration abuse of these young activists.

Amazing Americans. “Jane Addams was a peacemaker even when she was criticized for her views. She taught,

wrote, and lectured about peace both nationally and internationally. Before World War I, Addams was

probably the most beloved woman in America because of her social reform work at Hull House in Chicago. In

a newspaper poll that asked, Who among our contemporaries are of the most value to the community? Jane

Addams was second, after Thomas Edison. When she opposed America's involvement in World War I,

however, newspaper editors called her a traitor and a fool, but she never changed her mind.”

In 1942, the most beloved female superhero, Super Woman was created in All Star Comics followed by a

backup series in 1942 called Wonder Women of History. These women used their extraordinary human

powers to fight poverty, peace and justice. Jane Addams was not in this series of real life wonder women.

Does Jane Addams fit this superhero profile? Does she deserve to be #67 in the Wonder Women of HIstory

series?
