Chapter 15, Lesson 3

The Women’s Movement

For page 7, students read Chapter 15, Lesson 3 and take Quadrant Notes.

Upper Left is the sections titled “Reform for Women” and “Seneca Falls Convention” on pages 415-416.

Upper Right is the section “The Seneca Falls Declaration” on pages 416-417.

Lower Left is the sections titled “The Women’s Movement Grows” on page 417 and “Marriage and the Family” on page 419.

Lower Right is devoted to defining “suffrage” and answering questions 1-3 on page 419. Answers should restate question.

For page 6, students create a commemorative stamp for the lesson with an explanation.

In class, we looked at some primary source material on the Seneca Falls Convention to see what changes these women (and men) were advocating for and what resolutions they drew up. We also compared their Declaration to the Declaration of Independence.

Students sum it all up in a commemorative stamp designed on the top portion of page 6. Stamp should be pretty all-inclusive and colorful. On the bottom portion should be a thorough explanation of their design elements that incorporated significant points from the Women’s reform movement.
