Rosie the Riveter

Children learn about Rosie the Riveter, a fictional character who would become a well-known symbol of the World War II women's labor effort, in this social studies worksheet. As they read, young learners are introduced to the song that inspired Rosie's name and the poster that came to represent her likeness, along with associated terms. A series of reading comprehension questions helps children to use evidence to reflect on the passage they have read. Designed for fifth grade literacy students, this worksheet integrates well into a unit on U.S. history and women's history.
