Equality for all? Scholars talk with partners to predict Shirley Chisholm's stand in her speech "Equal Rights for Women." They then read the speech and circle unfamiliar words to understand the meaning better. Readers go on to answer text-dependent questions and reflect on their learning as a whole group before summarizing their thoughts in an independent writing task.
