 * Cultural ChangeStudents will examine some of the arguments used to win the vote for American women and explore the cultural dimension of these arguments as reflected in their characterization of men and women. In addition, students will weigh the rhetorical impact these arguments had in their time by writing counter-arguments from several standpoints, and think critically about the relationship between political ideas and cultural attitudes.

===‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Instructional Resources**===
 * Evaluating Eyewitness ReportsThis lesson from EDSITEment offers students experience in making historical meaning from eyewitness accounts that present a range of different perspectives. The lesson asks students to evaluate the reliability of this primary source and to draw up a list of questions they would want to ask and issues they would want to explore before making this eyewitness report part of the historical record. To conclude the lesson, students apply their research skills to present-day eyewitness accounts, gathering published examples or conducting interviews, and produce a report on their value and use as historical evidence.
 * Practical CriticismAnthologists and editors prepare the way for poetry readers, selecting works that reward close reading and assisting interpretation through annotation. But on the Internet we can return to poetry in its native state--one set of words among many others competing for appreciation--and read with fresh eyes. The goals of this lesson plan, from EDSITEment, are to analyze the verbal devices through which poems make meaning; to compare one's personal interpretation of a poem with the personal interpretations of others; and to develop standards of literary judgment.
 * NaNoWriMo Youth Writing Project November is National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). This site is dedicated to encouraging young writers to sit down and write the book they have always wanted to write. Writing contests and educator resources to help teachers motivate their students to write.
