Students should have recently completed a Venn Diagram on two views of Flappers. Classes that need to finish this will.
Students need to complete their RAFT writing assignment on the work of Margaret Sanger.
Beginning Monday, March 13th students will have (in-class) access to a packet that focuses on work and compensation.
#1
"Coaches Pay" & "Thanks, But No Thanks"
A) After reading the two articles write a personal response: What are you thinking? How does this make you feel? What if .....? Who do you empathize with, why?
B) In a small group made with those sitting near you discuss and take notes on:
Are there rational reasons for the disparities listed?
Is the situation fair?
Does it seem legal?
C) What can be done? What should be done?
#2
Date table women working:
What observations can you make about the data and analysis given?
Are there trends?
What predictions can you make?
What are some possible effects of the changes you noted?
#3
"Fighting Sexism on the Job"
A) After reading the open letter at the start of this article either create a political cartoon which makes a related or similar point to the letter by WomenFired by Great Lakes Steel or write a personal response to their letter.
B) Share your cartoon or response with those around you (or whole class).
C) Read the portion on the ERA; write a statement about whether or not you believe the ERA should have been added to the constitution, and why you think this.
Wednesday/ Thursday:
When more people work, there is more money available to make purchases. This generally causes inflation (goods becoming more expensive). But when more people in one economic unit work fixed expenses (such as housing) are more affordable. This (generally/ in theory/ should) result in more money available to buy goods and services; this should / could / is supposed to result in an "increased standard of living".
Some would argue that over the last 60 years Americans (at least middle class Americans) have traded a lot of time for more things; is this a good thing or a bad thing or a matter of personal choice?
#4
"A union protects its women members -- 1955"
A) Before reading this debate from the 1955 meeting of the UAW-CIO, consider and write a response to the following: What are the advantages and disadvantages of having a full time "home maker" (a person who cooks, cleans, does laundry, has primary responsibility for child care, coordinates other services, etc.) in a family? Does gender have a role in the arguments you make?
B) Talk with one partner about how the debate reflects differing values about standard of living. Take notes.
#5
"Academic women attack institutional discrimination--1970"
Like Title IX Executive Order #11246 makes something happen as a condition of getting something from the Federal Government. Certain ideas that "make sense" might not be legally defensible. But, if they are simply part of a choice (e.g. if you take Federal dollars; work for the Federal Government, THEN you MUST) it is usually deemed fair and the rule is not unconstitutional.
Make a timeline based on this article. Your timeline should have several columns.
