Instructional Ideas
- Rather than presenting the background information in lecture format, teach the lesson after the class has studied the suffrage movement
- Have students research when or if a state ratified the Nineteenth Amendment and post the results on a large classroom map
- Repeat the process with the Equal Rights Amendment
Classroom Considerations
Pros
