Women’s Rights LAB: Black Women’s Clubs
The goal is to help students learn more about Black Women’s Clubs, Mary Church Terrell, and the Women’s Suffrage Movement. Class time should focus on introducing the topic and document analysis. As a warm up activity, students will examine a photo of a Black Women’s Club and make 3 observations. This can be done as a class or individually. Students will then read and annotate a reference article on Black Women’s Clubs. Next, students will analyze 2-3 primary sources by completing the LAB graphic organizer. As an assessment, students practice making a claim based on evidence from the sources in their response.
