Formal Assessment Ideas

Honor Roll of Notable Women: Nominate a Suffragette
Have students go through the steps in Honor Roll of Notable Women. Have students specifically work on a suffragette by doing research and writing a paragraph about her. Make sure students have edited their articles and printed a copy for formal assessment before publishing online. See Writing Rubric below.

Writing a Persuasive Essay: Pro- and Anti-Suffrage
Have students go through the steps in Writing Workshop: Persuasive Essay. Each persuasive essay should focus on either convincing others that women should have the right to vote or taking the stand that women should not have the right to vote. Make sure students have edited their articles and printed a copy for formal assessment before publishing online. See Writing Rubric below.
