On Wednesday and Thursday of this week, we have been learning about the Civil Rights Amendments. These are four very important amendments to the Constitution. Each amendment is described below:
- 13th Amendment: Made slavery illegal in all states
- 14th Amendment: Provided equal protection of the law to all citizens, regardless of race. It also ensured that citizenship is given to anyone born in the USA.
- 15th Amendment: Gave African-American men the right to vote.
- 19th Amendment: Gave all women the right to vote.
I have attached several examples of informational text for you to analyze. On Wednesday, we answered the four attached discussion questions over the amendments and on Thursday, we worked on the attached writing prompt. Each essay should rank these amendments in order of most to least valuable according to the evaluation of the student. This essay will be due on Wednesday, November 6.
