Description
In this engaging research activity, your students will become investigative journalists intent on uncovering the modern women's rights movement (1960-present). They'll research key events, people, topics, ideas, and movements to better understand how modern women's rights have developed over time. Then, suing their newfound knowledge, they'll write their own news article in response to two essential questions.
Topics students will research: the feminine mystique, gender wage gap, Equal Pay Act, Civil Rights Act (1964), NOW, women's liberation, feminism, ERA, birth control, abortion (Roe vs. Wade), NWPC, and the #metoo Movement
For the news article, students will decide which moment of the modern women's rights movement was most important, while also exploring the extent to which modern women have achieved full equality.
