Women's Suffrage Texts: Close Reading of "The Destructive Male" Speech

Students will be doing a close read of Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s speech, "The Destructive Male." Students will be annotating the text along with answering questions that will lead them to a deeper understanding of women’s suffrage and the importance of the 19th Amendment.

There are three lessons that can be used to complement a study of Women's Suffrage texts and help students take a new perspective by merging ELA skills with civics knowledge.
