We are currently reading "The Hope Chest" as a class. This book takes place during the final moments on the road to women's suffrage. We see the legislative fight up close from the point of view of Violet, and 11 year old girl who is seeing her older sister Chloe fight for women's rights. This historical fiction book is a nice bridge between our previous and current unit. Students have created summaries, and they have used a map to track the suffragist and anti states as the book unveils them. Students are also using the map to track the central character's travels and the main events at each location. Additionally as students read they are marking observations on character traits ad organizing them. Students mark the traits they see as being physical, social, emotional, or philosophical. The also provide the chapter where they made that connection. The following pictures show some examples of that work.
