Instructions I will assign you a group a one of the three tactics that women used to fight for the vote (Moral Persuasion, State-by-State, and a Constitutional Amendment) In your groups, read the instructions for your assigned tactic (https://www.tolerance.org/sites/default/files/general/strategy_cards_ 0.pdf) and work as a group to understand and carry out the task. Read your group’s strategy card and discuss it together to see if you understand it. To get more information, view/read any sources identified on your group’s card, and do any additional research you need so that you have a solid understanding of your group’s beliefs and actions. Create a presentation for the class showing how your group went about trying to win votes for women. Keep in mind that you want the rest of the class to understand the answers to these two questions: 1) What arguments did your group make about why women should have the right to vote? 2) How did they present those arguments? Present – present to the class

Poster Who was involved? (what different types of women & organizations involved) What arguments did they make about why women should have the right to vote?

Evaluate the success of this tactic.
