Where's My Dinner? Activity- A line from a newspaper article that was written in response to the creation of the Declaration of Sentiments said, "If our ladies will insist on voting and legislating, where, gentlemen, will be our dinners...?" Follow the instructions on the dinner plate print-and-go activity page provided to create a meal-themed response to this quotation. You might also choose to use real paper plates for this activity.
A New Declaration Activity- Both the Declaration of Sentiments and the Declaration of Independence it was modeled after contained lists of grievances. Let's think like the people who wrote these declarations and make a list of things we think our country could do better. One of the first steps to making change is identifying problems.
The Wage Gap Activity- The Declaration of Sentiments was written 175+ years ago, but some of the problems they talked about then are still problems now. For example, women are still paid less money than men for the work they do. Color in the dollar bills on the provided print-and-go activity page to make a graphic representation of this data.
