 Reflection on Lesson

WHAT?

What happened? What went well? What was an area of weakness?

Which objectives were met?  What is the evidence? Give specifics from your formative assessment data. Which students did not meet objectives?  Which students exceeded objectives?  Why?

This lesson effectively introduced the fourth graders to the concept of advocacy through the historical lens of the Women's Suffrage movement in New York. Beginning with community building and a review of expectations, the lesson progressed to explain cause and effect using relatable examples before focusing on the specific cause and effect of women gaining the right to vote in New York. Through an engaging role-playing activity as lobbyists, students actively participate in advocating for suffrage. The lesson incorporates diverse learning modalities with a brain break, visual aids, a read-aloud, and the analysis of historical photographs of New York activists. The lesson culminates in a journal entry that reinforces understanding of the cause and effect of Women's Suffrage and its impact on New York.The students were able to name cause and effects to Women's Suffrage and why it is so important to history. They were each able to become lobbyist's and write why they believed women should have the right to vote.
