Women's Rights
4/6/2018
Some wonderful class time happened around ERBs this week. In Social Studies, we focused on previous Women's Rights milestones, timelines, and important people. During class time, we read and watched videos about powerful women that changed the path, such as Diane Nash, Katherine Switzer, Marlo Thomas, and Gloria Steinem. Students researched the events that have happened over the 20th century that have led to changes in women's and civil rights.
Please ask them what they learned about these topics this week. Especially ask the differences between different groups' fights for rights and why people had a hard time combining efforts. To match this topic, we read about a more current fight for rights by reading and learning about Malala. We watched the movie He Named Me Malala during class time and heard her discuss her heroic story as well as the current impact. During our Reading time, students will learn about present day leaders in the fight for equal rights around the world and how their journeys parallel and differ past fighters. Comments are closed.
