statement of process

After I thought of my topic, which is women suffrage I decide my first genre should be character profile. I think I should know who is the main women, that fight hard for their rights. I went to Google and type in ''Elizabeth- women suffrage'', I know that she is one of the main people that fight for women right. As I read about her life I saw a name that call Alice Paul. I like the name and start googling on her. I really like what she did to fight for women suffrage, so my first chraracter profile is about her!









After I finish my first post, I went to the 7th grade humanities blog and look at the list of genres. I saw the word poem and I think it's easy, so I start to type a poem about how the women felt when they are basically treated like a slave. But as I start to think, the poem start to get really hard for some reason. I ask my friend to think of something that have to do with women suffrage. I finish, and I thank for the people that helps me. If I type my poem and think all to myself it'll take 3 days!









I think timeline should be my next genre, so I went to Google and type in ''women suffrage -timeline'' . I got bunch of website of information I need. I'm pretty glad and pick one. The next thing I know was a bunch of data and event. OMG! I can't copy and paste, ''what should i do?'' I ask myself. I read all the data in the timeline and took ms.sackstein's advice, which is '' make it to your own word'' It took pretty long, but I finish it!



Then I decide to do descriptive paragraph, cause it seem pretty easy. But you need to be specific. My paragraph is about when did women suffrage begin, and the main women that fight for their rights. I try to make it specific, and I also try to write down the most inportant deatail.





My next genre was a letter. Susan B. Anthony is writing a letter to her mother. I try to pretend that I was Susan B. Anthony. But writing a letter to her mom was pretty hard, cause I need to organize the data and the date that she is writing to her mom. I went to google again and type in timeline of Susan B. Anthony, so I know her better.





I pick Map as my next genre. I think I should pick something easy next, so I pick map. I went to Google and type '' map of women suffrage'', and click image. There is few map that is clear and have good information it. I don't know that I should write what's going on in the map. Ms. sackstein comment and told me that I have to write what's going on, so I wrote a sentence or two.




I went to 7th grade humanities blog and look for the list of different genre. I don't know how to do some of them, and Ms. sackstein said we can do it more than one times. So, I decide to do character profile again. This time I am going to do bullet points about Susan B. Anthony. I found out she didn't live to see women gain their right. I really like her character, and how strong she is!



Then I write poem again, cause I think I start to like them when my friend read her's out loud. This time I wrote about the men point of view. I try to think as a guy, and I write it down in a piece of paper. Then I change it to a poem and post it to the blog.



I pick map again for my 9th genre. Of course I went to google and got my map there. The map said '' women suffrage before the nineteenth Amendment 1920'' On the bottom it have bars fill with different color, which represent states that have women suffrage.

My last genre was a letter again. Elizabeth Cady stanton's letter to her father. Her partner Susan B. anthony, fight for women suffrage with her. She also didn't live to see women gain their right. Elizabeth was a great writee and susan was a great speaker, so both of them make a great partner!

Reflection

I was really shock when Ms. Sackstein gave us another project. After I start working on my blog project, I start to think it's not that hard to complete. I was thinking about doing slavery but I think I should do something new. So, after thinking about it for 3 hours I finally decide to do women suffrage.

Ms.Sackstein gave us many project to improve our learning skill. I learned many thing about women suffrage after all that researching and thinking. My grammar improve as I start posting and revising. I learn more about the women that's going through at that time period.

The project start to get challenging and fun at the same time. There are many genres that I have a hard time to work on. I got trouble understanding how to do the advertisement, monologue, and experiment. So, I will go to my classmate's blogs and see if they did one of those. I still don't quite get it. One of the genre that I think is hard is 1 act play, OK, maybe it's not that hard but I amitt that I was too lazy to do it.

I face many challenges such as finding good information and source. I also try to find the timeline of that person that was writing a letter to her parent. The reason that I was finding the timeline of the person that was involve with women suffrage was because I want to sent the data straight when she's writing the letter. One thing that came easily in this project, is finding the trustworthy site and got the right information, and create the post.

I try to avoid the some information that have nothing to do with my topic of women suffrage. As I start researching I learned many new things about women suffrage, ex: the time of each women going through while fighting for their right. It took about 70 years to finally gain their right. If it took that long, I might give up already.

I have trouble paying attention to my spelling and grammar. I got trouble looking for my mistake after I publish it. So I'll ask my classmate to check what did i did wrong, and something I ask them to go to my blog and comment. There are many errors that I still need to correct, but ms. sackstein help me alot by commenting on my blog and give me some good advice!

I felt really proud after I finish my blog, after all my hard work. I know that I still can inprove more, cause writing is all about rvising and make it better. I'm really thankful to ms.sackstein cause she really tries to improve our weak point to a strong one!

Elizabeth Cady Stanton's letter to father

Dear Father,

How are you and mom doing? I want to tell you many thing that going on. And I hope you are still not mad at me, that I married Henry Brewster Stanton. I met a woman named Susan B. Anthony, I don't really like her at first but we work together and we start to become a great friend. I would like you and mom to meet her though. Both of us lead the Women's State Temperance Society, and I was glad how strong I keep fighting on. We also begin a women's rights campaign by trying to expand New York's Married Women's Property Law of 1848. And most of all, my baby boy named Robert Livingston Stanton was born! I haven't written to you for many years, but now on I will write you every two month if I could. So, please don't be mad. Some of my fellow friends are arrested, and I thought the police will protect them. How foolish I thought that way. I already know that, men always thought of us in useless and bad but, and I'm not saying it's you father. You are always working hard for the family and you are the best father in earth. Remember that I still fight for women's right even the day I die. Please pray for your caring daughter to make it happen. Thanks, dad.

From your caring daughter,

Elizabeth Cady Stanton

poem

Women are weak
they don't have a beak

women are stupid
know nothing but cupid

Women are pain
annoying and instane

women are nothing
they don't have something

but we all know they're not
and we are better than a lot

Reflection: In this poem, I thought alot. I was thinking and I start writing what does the guy thinks about women. As I wrote down the list of what's the men's point of view, I think this poem may turn out to be nice. Basically, this poem said that women meant nothing! But we all know they are not, cause we are all created equal.

letters

Dear, Mother

Many things have happened in New York. My fellow friends and I are still fighting for women's right. I know I was also arrested once for voting on 1872. But that is just wrong! I haven’t given up even if I die one day. I believe that all men and women are created to be equal. I still can't believe that US Constitutional Convention place voted that all state shouldn’t let any women vote except New Jersey in 1787. I was glad that New Jersey let the women vote, but in 1806 women lost their right to vote in New Jersey! Just because we are women doesn't mean we aren't allow doing what men do? We can be as strong as them; we can be as smart as them. I know that I got to clam down, but mother this is just so unfair. But I'll be strong and keep on fighting, we, the women will fight for our right till victory. Oh mother, I have one new for you, today I reads the Declaration for the Rights of Women in front of the liberty bell. Crowds of people were cheering for me. I'm glad that I did my best to keep my courage.

Your loved daughter,

Susan B. Anthony

Peom

My will
was never filled

have no rights

But I’ll fight



have no freedom
but I'll make my own kingdom

doesn't make sense
when men said we're tense

I'm not scare
cause this have to be fair

we are strong
like a big king Kong

we are brave
and got what we have

We can't stay in this cave

Because we won't be treat like a slave!

Reflection: I can't think of anything when I decide to do a poem. So I try to pretend that I am one of the woman that help fight for women suffrage. I image myself back in time, fighting for right and the courage we have. As soon as I start thinking I thought of many thing. The felling of brave, tears, and courage. I type it to the blog, and told my friend to read it for me. It came out pretty good.

character profile


Alice Paul is one of the many women that helped for the women's suffrage. During the winter of 1917, she and her fellow friends and other women stood silently at the gates, in front of the white house. Alice is holding a sign that said "Mr. President, how long must women wait for liberty?"
The suffragists were ignore but became more pointed, when the
United States entered World War I on April 6, 1917. They yelled at Wilson, saying that he is pretending to be someone else. Alice and her fellows continue to accuse President Wilson, and he became very embarrassing. The police came to the white house instead of protecting them, but arresting the suffragists on charges of obstructing traffic. But that didn't stop the suffragists from fighting for their rights; many women were sentenced to jail terms. Things are out of control, so the police arrested Alice, and was sent to the prison for 7 months. She stayed in the prison, but got nothing to eat but bread and water. She got so weak that she was sent to the prison hospital. The doctor threaded her to transfer an insane secure retreat, but she refuse. The doctor's afraid that she's going to die, so the doctors forced a tube down her throat and poured liquids into her stomach. During her time in the prison, fight for women's suffrage had been going on for almost 70 years. After 5 weeks in prison, Alice Paul was set free. After Alice was set free from prison, newspaper article printed the jail terms and forced feedings of the suffragists. Many American were really mad after they read the story, and created more support for the suffrage amendment. On January 9, 1918, Wilson finally decides to support for suffrage. The House of Representatives Anthony Amendment, which would give suffrage to all women citizens. On June 4, 1919, the Senate passed the Amendment by one vote. After that, they made the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution about women's right.

Alice was born on January 11, 1885.
*Died July 9, 1977
*her parent's a Quaker, William Mickle Paul I (1850-1902)
