Reflection
My blog was about women's suffrage. Since I am a woman I thought it was important to know about this topic and I was very interested it in it. I'm really glad that Ms.Sackstein gave us the opportunity to do a topic that we are interested in. I think I did a good job doing this project because I did things on time and when Ms.Sackstein gave us suggestions I did what she suggested. I think I reached my goal to learn a lot about women's suffrage. I honestly learned a lot about it. Also when people ask me for help on women's suffrage it would be easy for me to help them and I'll be very glad. I think this project gave me a lot of things. Things like, knowledge on women's suffrage, revising skills and most importantly time management.
Statement of Process
When I first got this project, I thought 'what so hard about this? If you finish a post everyday and revise each one everyday, you'll be done.' But after doing posts that I thought it was easy to do, I got scared because I thought I wouldn't be able to do other posts from now on. So each day, I read more and more about my topic.
When I started doing the project, I started with three posts. It was a poem, game, and a descriptive paragraph. That time, I didn't know a lot about my topic. So I honestly say that those posts weren't very good. But I printed a timeline about my topic, and I learned more about my topic.
When I was doing the timeline I learned a lot about a women named Susan B. Anthony. She was arrested because she voted when she didn't have the right to. So I made a character profile on her. I listed facts about her and wrote a paragraph telling what part she did in the women suffrage.
After making a character profile on her, I started liking what she did, so I made a narrative poem on her. I didn't have a lot of hard time doing it because before doing this project we had a poetry project due on slavery. So I was really used to it. When we were doing the poetry project we had to write a reflection on every poem we did, so I made a reflection for the poem I did for the exit project.
One problem I had doing this project was not using different topics for each genres. I had some topics used twice in the project. So I tried to use other topics also.
How I planned my project was that I first was going to use some days finding information on my topic, then to finish at least one posts everyday and use the day after that to revise and post. When I was doing the poetry project, I didn't follow my plans but for this project I did use my plan and I am very glad.
I think my favorite post was the poem I did on Susan B. Anthony because doing the poetry project I mastered writing poems. Another post that I liked was the diary entry on Elizabeth Cady Stanton's daughter. She doesn't understand her mom for women's suffrage.
I think this project was very challenging and I think I had a fun time doing this project. I am also glad that this project didn't need any paper work.

Diary Entry: Harriot Stanton Blatch
July 19,1848
My mom is acting very weird lately. She's going out really late these days. Today, she came home really late. Yesterday she said she's meeting her friends. I wanted to stay with my mom at home so I asked her if she's going to be home tomorrow (which is today). She said yes. I was really excited. But tonight she came home really really late. Dad got mad at her. He said, "Aren't you a woman? Why aren't you working right now? Why are you so late? There are a lot of dishes so go wash it now?" and he went to his room and slammed the door. So I came upstairs to my room.
July 20,1848
Today I found out that my mom is doing things for the women's suffrage again. What's the point? I just don't get it. What's the big deal of women voting? Seriously. I really don't get it. My dad doesn't like the fact that women's should get their right to vote. Few weeks ago, my dad told her that if she ever does things for the women's suffrage, he wouldn’t forgive her. So I thought she isn't going to do those things anymore. So I was really relieved. But when I found that she still doing the "women voting" things, it was really uncomfortable. But my dad forgave her this time. He said if he finds out she does these things again, he’d never forgive her.
July 21, 1848
It's so embarrassing. Our neighbors found out that my mom had been helping the women's suffrage. So when I walk around the blocks, they stare at me like I am a poor person wandering around. When I met my friend on the end of the block and said "Hi" she acted like she didn't know me and told me that her parents said not to play with her anymore and she walked away. I was so mad at my mom. I am not talking to her and she acts like she didn't do anything. That made me madder. I am NEVER going to TALK to her anymore.
July22, 1848
Today at school, this guy asked me out. I wanted to go out with him but I said,” I’ll think about it," and never said anything back. I'm planning to tell him ok tomorrow. I'm so excited. Secretly, I like him too. I promised my mom when somebody asks me out, she'll be the first one to tell. But, I'm still mad and I don't want to tell her.
July23, 1848
I told him that I would like to go out with him with a smile on my face. But he looked at me and looked down at his feet. So I asked him why he's doing that when he has to be happy that I said I would go out with him. He said their parents said he couldn’t take me out because my mom is a suffragist. So right after school ended, I ran home and started yelling at my mom. "Because of you, I can't go with this guy that asked me out! I hate you! What's wrong with you! I just don't get it what's so good if women can vote? It's just a ballot!" She acted like she didn't hear me. So I ran up stairs and started crying.
July24 ,1848
I am still mad at my mom.
July30, 1848
My dad found out that she's still helping the women's suffrage. He got really mad and he started beating her up. When I saw her getting beat up by my dad, I started to feel bad for her and started to become sorry that I was mad at her and yelled at her. So when my dad was beating her up I started to yell at my father. "What's your problem? Why can't she do anything for the women's suffrage? Why can't women vote? They are the same human as men. Why can't they? Also is she your wife or a maid? You guys are married and got me. Why do you treat mom like a maid of the house? It's so unfair that only women has to work in the house and men don't." Then my dad stopped. Then he went into his room. I saw bruises on my mom's body. I felt so bad. I told my mom that I’d start helping her and support her to do more things for the women's suffrage. She smiled at me and said sorry for all the problems that happened. We spent out whole time crying.

Setting: Meeting Hall
Starts- Stanton: The convention is tomorrow. The convention is tomorrow. The convention is tomorrow!
W1, W2, Mott: We know. We know. We know!
Stanton: I'm just so excited. I wish a lot of people come. But what should we do?
Mott: I bet a lot of people are going to come. Don't worry Beth. Where's the declaration that people are going to sign tomorrow?
Stanton: Don't you have it?
Then Women3 comes in to the meeting hall with a document in her hand.
Stanton: I'm so scared. What if people throw rocks at us when we are talking.
W1: We're just going to make a speech that women needs their rights. Who cares?
Stanton: I know, but you know those people that hate us so much. Like the anti-suffragists. They might just come up to us and start throwing rocks at us.
Mott: That's the reason why we are doing the convention at night. Only people that are invited can come so Beth don't worry.
W1: Anyways, what do we have to complete tomorrow.
W2: We surely know that we have a lot of things we have to accomplish by tomorrow.
W3: We also know that we have to make them signed the declaration. But what are we going to call the document?
Mott: hmmm... I wonder...
Stanton: The Declaration of Sentiments.
W1, 2,3, Mott: That's a brilliant name!
Stanton: We would have to make everyone there to sign this document!
Before the Convention starts-
Mott: Guys, remember, the reason why we are doing this convention is for women's suffrage. This is not a contest of who is going to talk well and make people happy.
Stanton: Also guys, when we are up the stage talking, there are going to be people that's going to make faces and make frowns of not wanting to hear our speeches. We have to convince them, and make that frown into a smile.
W1, 2,3: One, Two, Three...
Everyone: Let's do it!
Letter: Suffragists and Anti- Suffragist
To Susan,
We think what you did was so brave. I just cannot believe that you voted. We think that was really courageous, and very awesome. We are the suffragists and we think that we couldn't have done that even for the women's suffrage. We know that it's very uncomfortable and scary in the jail, please be patient and be safe. We are going to help you pay the bail and make you go out. We also think that women should vote because every human should be treated equal. We are all humans! Don't loose courage!
From. The suffragists
-------------------------------------------------
To Susan,
We think that it was so stupid of you to vote when you weren't supposed to. You knew you were going to get arrested. Didn't you? Give up already. Only because you did that you think people are going to give you "Women" the right to vote? We think just even having those things in your heads are so dumb. I'll tell you a fact. "Women will never get their right to vote:” Want to know another fact? "It is never going to work." We wish you guys just don't come out of there. You guys shouldn't vote. Think about it, you women are so dumb. You guys are so dumb that you might vote twice because you think you chose the wrong choice. Also another thing, you women are so emotional. You'll choose a person because you feel sorry for them and you think they are so handsome or pretty. Anyways Have Fun (in jail)!
From. Anti-suffragists
Reflection: In this letter, two different groups of people, the suffragists and the anti- suffragists are sending a letter to Susan B. Anthony when she got arrested because she voted. The suffragists were the people who were for the women's suffrage. They wanted women to have their right to vote. They thought it was wrong to for women to not have their right to vote. But in the other side, the anti-suffragists thought it was wrong for women to have a right to vote. They thought women should just work at home, they thought that why should women come out to public and be part of the politics. This letter shows the comparison between the suffragists and the anti- suffragists. It shows that the suffragists think that Susan B. Anthony was very brave and think it was right to do that and the anti- suffragists think that it was really dumb for Susan B. Anthony to vote when she knew she was going to get arrested for voting.
