This speech was delivered at a two-day women’s rights convention in 1851 in Akron, Ohio. On the second day of the convention, many speakers, among them clergy members, argued against equal rights for women, claiming the superiority of men and using the Bible as evidence to defend their claims. Then, Sojourner Truth, who was not invited to this convention, stood up to speak without notes or a written text.

Choose 5 statements to respond to
If the flow of the conversation dies, be prepared to be called on for either the defend or refute side
The first student to rise out of their seat will have dibs on the conversation - I will make the final decision on who begins the conversation
Negative points for cross talk
To speak, students simply “pop up” at their desks and talk. First person to speak has the floor. When multiple students pop up, teach them to politely yield the floor. Argument is a collaborative endeavor, and collaboration isn’t a pointed finger and, “Sit down, I was up first.”
To speak, simply stand up and speak. The first person to do so has the floor; when more than one person stands up, cordially and smoothly yield the floor. The teacher doesn’t serve as “Who gets to speak” referee. On a side note, one of my classes needed a little help "yielding" the floor. They are stubborn. If no one sits down within 30 seconds, they all must sit down and loose the opportunity to speak next. Turn-taking is not easy for all students

To speak, simply stand up and speak. The first person to do so has the floor; when more than one person stands up, cordially and smoothly yield the floor.
Yielding means sitting back down till the person is done speaking- if too many people stand at once, again yield.
