Women's Rights by https://padlet.com/jsullivan32/pcrbyeelexsm Within this Padlet you will find resources that teach third graders about women's rights. Women obtained the right to vote nationwide in 1920. Before 1920, only criminals, the insane, Native Americans, and women were denied the right to vote. The modern woman's suffrage movement began in the 1840s with the Seneca Falls Convention. This unit displays quality children's books, video clips, poems, posters, and interesting facts. The resources are meant to show strong role models that helped to change the role of women within our society. Amelia Bloomer, Susan B. Anthony, and Frederick Douglass all served as strong role models in the multicultural fight for equality for women. en-us 2017-09-26 00:57:38 UTC 2025-04-24 07:34:58 UTC hello@padlet.com You Forgot Your Skirt, Amelia Bloomer jsullivan32 https://padlet.com/jsullivan32/pcrbyeelexsm/wish/191067228 2017-09-26 01:00:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jsullivan32/pcrbyeelexsm/wish/191067228 Book Summary: jsullivan32 https://padlet.com/jsullivan32/pcrbyeelexsm/wish/191067397 This is the story of Amelia Bloomer, a rebellious reformer and early women's rights activist. Amelia thinks ‘proper’ women of the time are silly – they can’t work, vote, and have to wear such restricting clothing. So she invents the bloomers - baggy pantaloons worn with a short skirt over them.

Some people had rights, while others had none.
Why shouldn't women have them, too?
Two friends, Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass, get together for tea and conversation. They retell their similar stories fighting to win rights for women and African Americans.

She met Dexter Bloomer, who was editor and co-owner of a local newspaper, the Seneca Falls County Courier. In 1840, she married Bloomer and moved to Seneca Falls. With her husband's encouragement, she began to write about social issues for his newspaper.
In 1848, Amelia Bloomer went to the First Women's Rights Convention held in Seneca Falls. Following the convention, she moved into action, creating The Lily, a temperance newspaper. She explained her mission by stating, "It is women that speak through The Lily. It is upon an important subject, too, that she comes before the public to be heard.  In 1855, she continued writing on social and political topics. She also worked on behalf of women's rights, becoming involved in the women suffrage movement in her new home state. She is credited with helping to get women the right to vote in Ohio in 1873.
Even though she did not create the women's clothing reform style known as bloomers, her name became associated with it because of her early and strong advocacy.  After learning about Amelia Bloomer, I would hope that students would realize the importance of standing out rather than trying to fit in.]]> 2017-09-27 11:29:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jsullivan32/pcrbyeelexsm/wish/191605095 Susan B. Anthony jsullivan32 https://padlet.com/jsullivan32/pcrbyeelexsm/wish/191608199 After teaching for fifteen years, she became active in temperance. Since she was a woman, she was not allowed to speak at temperance rallies. This experience led her to join the women's rights movement in 1852. Soon after, she dedicated her life to women's suffrage. Anthony  established the Women's New York State Temperance Society.  She also campaigned for the abolition of slavery, the right for women to own their own property and retain their earnings, and she advocated for women's labor organizations. In 1900, Anthony persuaded the University of Rochester to admit women. 
I would want my students to learn that it is important to fight for ideas that you believe in and never give up.

After the death of his first wife, Douglass married Helen Pitts, a white feminist from Honeoye, New York. Their marriage caused considerable controversy, since Pitts was white and nearly 20 years younger than him.
In addition to abolition, Douglass became an outspoken supporter of women’s rights.   In 1848, he was the only African American to attend the first women's rights convention at Seneca Falls, New York.  This is where he met Susan B. Anthony.  ]]> 2017-09-27 12:01:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jsullivan32/pcrbyeelexsm/wish/191614127 Learning Activities (Goals) jsullivan32 https://padlet.com/jsullivan32/pcrbyeelexsm/wish/191627024 All activities will be within a blended learning environment.
1.  Students will be given a 12x18 piece of construction paper to create a folder for the unit.  The front cover will be divided into two equal parts.  On the top half of the folder, students will draw or write anything they know about women's rights.  This will lead into a whole group KWL chart. The class will review unit vocabulary and glue inside of the folder.
2.  Students will be divided into center groups of various ability levels. 
    A.  Group one will be given a graphic organizer and questions to complete after either reading a paper copy or listening to an audio version of You Forgot Your Skirt, Amelia Bloomer.
     B.  Another group will watch the video clip "Who Was Amelia Bloomer?"  They will then work together to create a book of important facts about her life as they relate to women's rights.
     C.  This group of students will watch the video of how a proper lady is to dress.  They will work with a partner to label the diagram of all of the clothing women were expected to wear.
3.  Each group will rotate until all activities are completed.  The teacher will play the roll of facilitator.

1.  One group will have a choice of the two video clips (Susan B. Anthony Vote! Song or School House Rock).  They will complete a worksheet within Schoology. 
When completed, the students will upload and email to the teacher for review.
2.  A group will begin to read Who Was Susan B. Anthony or Susan B. Anthony Fighter for Women's Rights with the teacher (guided reading).  Students will complete a study guide that goes with either book.
3.  Another group of students will partner (assigned by teacher) read Two Friends: Susan B.

1.  Students will research the 19th Amendment using any classroom resources, the internet, or information listed on the  Schoology page that was created by the high school civics class.  They must be able to answer all of the questions on the provided worksheet. 
2.  Students will read and summarize the poem What Women Wanted.
3.  Students will watch the Kid President video clip.  After watching the clip, they will create a rap based on what they have learned about either Amelia Bloomer, Susan B. Anthony, or Frederick Douglass. They may work with a partner.  The rap must be recorded using the iPads.  
4.  We will conclude with a whole group activity that completes our KWL chart.  Students will then draw or right on the bottom half of their folders about how they now see the Women's Right movement.]]> 2017-09-27 12:39:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jsullivan32/pcrbyeelexsm/wish/191627374 Unit Goals/Objectives jsullivan32 https://padlet.com/jsullivan32/pcrbyeelexsm/wish/191777943 The students will be able to:

We have a lesson that focuses on inspiration.  I feel that in a time period when women were only expected to maintain their homes and act "properly," these two women showed the world they were mistaken!  Amelia Bloomer and Susan B. Anthony did not want to sit back and simply watch the world go by, they inspired others. They stood up against the majority, and fought for what they truly believed in.  
I think this is a very high interest topic for children from third grade on up.  It is fun to watch as they discover the struggles that women went through in order to have the same rights as men.  I added Frederick Douglass to the list because I didn't want my children to  think that only females fought for women's rights.]]> 2017-09-28 00:21:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jsullivan32/pcrbyeelexsm/wish/191902023
