Other Activities

Kids Have Rights Too

    Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton worked many years for women's rights. Lead a class discussion on children's rights. Ask students which rights they think they should have, and then have them write a Kids' Bill of Rights. Students can then create picket signs that state their demands.

Lights, Camera, Action!

    Frame by frame, students can produce and direct a feature story about a famous woman. Have students fill in the frames to create a timeline, a documentary, or a story, using drawings or pictures. Have students write a script to accompany the film. You can hold a “film festival” for students to present their work.
