== =Lesson Four: Women's Suffrage Movement= = = (Digital Streaming PowerPoint Please Insert) The Progressive Movement impacted not only child labor, but also it impacted women's suffrage. African American males already received the right to vote, but what about women? = =

Focus Question
How do you think society perceived women before women's suffrage? How did society perceive women after the movement?

Warm Up
Students will pair up into groups of four and five and the class will do a round robin exercise. They will have to answer the questions, what previous Progressive Movements influenced women's suffrage and what was life like for women in the late 19th and early 20th centuries? Would you prefer life as a woman then or now? Why?

Lesson

 * 1) We will read certain segments from the chapter of the book that discusses women's suffrage.
 * 2) We will watch the PowerPoint Digital Streaming and as a class we will answer the discussion questions from the video. Taking about two to three minutes per slide.
 * 3) An English teacher and I will be working together on this class assignment. The students will write a persuasive essay as if they were addressing Congress, speaking for or against women's right to vote. In their writings, students will have to give examples of the quality of life for women at the time and incorporate what they learned from the PowerPoint. The students will have to type their essays to turn in.
 * 4) In the English class, students will learn how to develope a well written persuasive essay.
 * 5) Students in groups of four will have to present their sides to the class. The students will have to persuade their peers to join their position, depending on how well they delivered their argument to the class.

Evaluation
I will ask for volunteers and randomly choose students to answer questions from the video. I will ask the students if they decided to change their opinions about which era they would prefer to live in, if they were a woman. I will ask those who changed their opinions why they decided to change.
