Remember to bring the road trip steps 3,4,6 for next class! Also, make sure your packet is complete so you will be ready for the test next week.
Today in class we discussed different issues women face. We watched a video and took notes in the packet on women's suffrage. We also discussed women in military combat, the wage gap, and equal rights. Here are some links to what we looked at in class (1,2,3,4,). Students decided where they stood on the issue after looking at two sides of the debate, then surveyed class members to see where they stood.
