Launch into a study of the women's suffrage movement by utilizing outside resource persons. Provide banners and posters outside the library or classroom to get the students excited about the event. Invite two women to the library to play the part of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony. If possible provide period costumes. Allow time for the students to question the characters.
Students can pick famous or important people from the women's suffrage movement to research.
Students look for facts, amusing anecdotes, quotations, etc., about their person. The students use this gathered information to create a one-person play or performance piece on their character. They should be knowledgeable enough to be able to answer questions posed by the rest of the class. The students may also create costume and props for their presentation. The students may also create a living timeline by arranging themselves in chronological order with their various character presentations.
