Create E.R.A. Timeline
Historical Overview- Is the E.R.A. still pertinent today, or is there enough gender equality that the Amendment is no longer needed? Skills include critical thinking, inquiry, media literacy, and point of view. Students will research the barriers to equal rights for women now, a century after ratifying the 19th Amendment, study the 14th Amendment, the uphill battle, and the progress made. Students discuss the pros and cons of approving the E.R.A. Students will analyze primary documents and articles to discuss the controversy over the E.R.A.
Students will make a timeline of political, cultural, and social events from the 1920s and then in each decade to the present, will detail at least four critical entries per decade regarding the E.R.A. and social movements (including world events, feminist events, major players of the campaign, sports, music, and pop culture history). This timeline will help students visually see the progression of the E.R.A. events in chronological order. Students will draw and chart a timeline of specific dates to make historical connections.
