NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:Expect fun and excitement with this lesson!Students put the numbers 1 through 9 inside of the nine small corner spaces on the Game 1 form on page 26C. They are instructed to scramble the numbers, not put them in order. Play begins when the teacher announces a number between 1 and 9. Class members put this number in the box next to question 1. They then read question 1 about early women's movements and choose which of the two underlined answers is correct. Once an answer is chosen, each student then finds the announced number on their game form and writes the answer in the large space next to it. Play continues in this way until five numbers have been announced and five answers have been filled in on the game form. Following Game 1, papers are exchanged and correct answers read. Points are scored as follows: 10 points for each correct answer; 10-point bonus for three correct answers in a row –– either across, down, or diagonally. (Note: It is possible to earn two 10-point bonuses by having three right answers in a row in two different directions.)Play continues in the same way for Games 2-4. Complete game rules are provided on the lesson pages.Game 1: Educational Opportunities and Legal RightsGame 2: Women's Rights ConventionsGame 3: The Right to VoteGame 4: Decline in Women's MovementsAfter all four games have been played, give each student a copy of page 26D to do as a quiz or homework assignment.
