Not Watching Iron Jawed Angels
Directions I am assuming the majority of students watched Iron Jawed Angels in 9 th or 10 th grade. This reading is a summary of that film as written in the book America’s Women by Gail Collins. Task: The names of significant people, laws and other items are circled. For example, line 4-5 Susan B Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton are circled. How does the reading provide a brief summary for the circled item?
