Description

In this 18 page activity , your students will research the Woman’s Suffrage Movement 1848-1920, using the provided secondary/primary source documents. They will use their understanding of the documents to participate in a “Socratic Seminar” (classroom debate) in which they defend their side of the debate in support or against suffrage for women. OPTIONALLY: You could just use the resources as a Document Based Activity and skip the seminar!

 Your students will:

1) Be assigned a role in order to prepare for the Socratic Seminar (Supporter of suffrage/Opponent of suffrage). Student’s will either support or oppose women’s suffrage in this activity from the perspective of an American living in the late 1800’s-early 1900’s.

2) Read the “Warm-up” background reading on the suffrage movement and answer the questions on the worksheet.

3) Examine each of the primary source documents/photographs contained in this packet.

4) Answer all of the comprehension check questions related to these documents/photographs on the answer sheet provided.

5) On a graphic organizer, “Position Evidence”, students will write down evidence from the documents they have read that defends their sides’ (Support or Opposition to suffrage) position.

6) Participate in a Socratic Seminar.

7) Complete an Exit Card activity- 2 included (teacher can choose which activity to use)

**OPTIONAL- If you prefer you could just have your students complete this activity as a Document Based Analysis activity instead of a Socratic Seminar!
