Summary and Objective
Through the examination of the documents, creation of a note chart, and peer discussions students will understand that women used many different forms of protest in their quest for the right to vote.
Teaching Plan
Step 1.
In a quick think-pair-share starter, students will review what they have learned in previous lessons about women’s suffrage.
Step 2.
Using the documents students will create a three column chart. In the first column they will list the form of protest being used. In the second column they will brainstorm a few reasons why this method would be effective. In the third column students will list the part of the first amendment that protected the women.
Step 3.
After completing their charts students will meet with a partner to discuss the following questions:
1.Which form of protest do you think was most effective? Why?
2. What other groups of people have used these same types of protest?
3. What are some other ways women could work toward earning the right to vote that were not shown in the documents?
Step 4.
Finally students will examine the 19th Amendment Document and share as a class their relfections on the struggle.
