Synopsis: Looking to enhance the EL Curriculum’s Module Four on Women’s Suffrage? Well, this is the unit for you! This unit creates opportunities for students to talk with the women in their family through an interview to see how being a woman or a girl growing up may have affected how they were treated in their families, as well as the chores or responsibilities they may been given. This unit also delves into how some women used their limited power and abilities in the 1920s by wielding their influence and voices through their kitchens and cooking. There are various activities that one can complete with their students that focus on the Module’s spotlighted novel, The Hope Chest by Karen Schwabach. This includes an anticipatory set of questions, vocabulary charts, internet research on key figures of the Women’s Suffrage Movement, foods of the time, and comprehension questions to get teachers started on the first several chapters of this amazing book.
