总结性的性能任务

论点 

为什么妇女要为选举权而斗争? What does that tell you about why the right to vote is important? Create a pamphlet telling the story of women’s fight for suffrage in Washington and connecting it to why voting is important today.

扩展 

Should the vote be extended to include different groups today? For example, should 16 year olds be able to vote? Use what you found about women’s fight for suffrage to support your argument. Create a pamphlet or political cartoon making your case for your argument. Create a classroom bulletin board and invite students to bring in newspaper articles or magazine clippings that they feel have to do with the right to vote or other issues that you are studying in your classroom. Use these as part of a free write or journaling exercise.

采取明智的行动 

Students send/mail their pamphlets to the Washington State Secretary of State. Students should research how/where to send these and should write an introductory email/note explaining the project. As a class, research voter registration in Washington 状态. What do people need to do to register to vote here? Do students have suggestions for this process?
