Tools for this Unit:

Evaluate Visual and Written Documents and Speeches

Students will read articles and listen to speeches to write five pros and cons from each source. Students will write a letter or persuasive essay explaining their position on why they do or do not support the E.R.A. They will use primary documents to enhance their inquiry and writing skills.

Students will read and evaluate two speeches, one by Gloria Steinem and one by Phyllis Schlafly. They will then use the evaluating arguments and counterclaim rubrics in the Summit Learning Platform. Students will assign a score to each speech and justify the score using evidence from each address.
