Stations Activity with Teacher Answer Guide!
Essential Question: Were the social reforms of the 1920’s positive or negative for the United States?
Women had to fight for equal rights. Many students don't realize much of American society was opposed to the 19th Amendment in the 1920's. This lesson has students will work in groups and answer guided reading questions and they unpack each authors argument. Students will unpack the argument for and against women's suffrage and then will then look at political cartoons from the 1920's to determine whether they are pro-suffrage or anti-suffrage. Students must make their own political cartoon to show their understanding of the women's suffrage movement. At the end of the lesson students will complete an assessment writing assignment. Students will write a claim, counterclaim, evidence and reasoning using the readings from the class to answer the question: How was the passage of the 19th Amendment a historical landmark for American society?
