1. DO NOW! According to “An Appeal to Congress on Women’s Suffrage:”
What is the meaning of the word Aphorism?
Which ethnic groups were Un-enfranchised in the U.S. in 1917?
Where would you find this appeal if it weren’t in your workbook?
Are there any aphorisms located in this room? What is one of them?

2. LEARNING TARGET
I CAN write arguments to support claims in an analysis of substantive topics or texts, using valid reasoning supported by relevant and sufficient evidence.

3. WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
I must practice pointing out the strengths and limitations of both in a manner that anticipates the audience's knowledge level and concerns.

4. TASK DON’T FORGET: 1. INTRODUCTION WRITE YOUR CLAIM
STATE YOUR POSITION; PRO OR CON
STATE THREE REASONS
2. BODY
SUPPORT YOUR REASONS
3. CONCLUSION
RESTATE THE CLAIM
WRITE YOUR OPINION
1. You will respond by writing a practice essay on the following claim in the composition book provided: CLAIM: According to Catt, Ethnic women, such as immigrants and those living in the slums, were excluded from her appeal for the right to vote. 2.FIRST PLAN: USING A Bubble Map, Outline, or Tree Map, etc. 3. You may use your workbook to cite evidence from the text: “Address to Congress on Women Suffrage” by Catt. 3. You have until 3 minutes before class ends to write.

5. TREE MAP Ethnic groups clearly were:
Con ( I disagree with Catts appeal)
Ethnic groups clearly were:
Excluded from her plea Discrimated against disrepected
She argued for White women immigrants & people all women fall under
suffrage living in the slums the rights of the U.S.
were excluded
She referenced these women many ethnic groups worked many immigrants and
as capable of being in govern tirelessly in White homes and people living in slums
ment positions & other domestic areas helped build this country

6. SUGGESTION: Introduction
According to Catt, Ethnic women, such as immigrants and those living in the slums, were excluded from her appeal for the right to vote. In other words, her appeal only pertained to the rights of White women. Clearly, her stance was unfair. I deplore this claim as stated by Catt. Ethnic groups during this time period were clearly discriminated against, treated with disrespect and many of her statements were racists.
