I hope you have a great weekend.
On Thursday we read and discussed the various periods during our history, when the right to vote was expanded to U.S citizens, other than white males who owned property. There was also reading and discussion about some of the obstacles there were, to achieving the right to vote for all American citizens.
The most recent amendment to do with voting rights was in 1971 and was the 26th Amendment lowering the voting age to 18.
Homework for Monday is to read the article, all students have a copy, in the September 5 Upfront from page 24-27 about 18 year olds getting the vote. No writing for homework just reading and being prepared to talk or write about this topic on Monday in class !
Feel free to interact with your child about this important and fascinating subject !
Best,
Steve
