Discuss with students their list of pros and cons regarding how the debate was conducted.
Discuss with students the content of the debate by using the following questions:
- What particular issues about the time period were important to your particular case?
(ie: geography, politics, religion, cultural background)
- What points did you believe the other group made that were valid or hard to combat?
- What significance, if any, did the convention in Seneca Falls establish?
- What implications did/does this movement have for women of the 20th and 21st centuries?
- What did you learn about yourself during the course of working on and participating in the debate? This can be about the process or the issue of women's rights.
Instruct students to write a letter to their daughter telling them what they learned and what hopes they have for this child as they grow up in the 21st century. They should feel free to be idealistic as well as practical in expressing what they believe is possible in their child's lifetime.
