Social change
Social change involved many movements with different goals. Compare their experiences rather than treating one group's story as everybody's.
Women's movement and Native activism
Objective: Explain women's movement and native activism, distinguish their meanings, and apply them to a described case.
Women's movement: Activists challenged unequal opportunities and restrictive gender expectations. Native activism: Indigenous activists asserted sovereignty, treaty rights, and community control. Interpret these ideas within the institutions, places, and period being studied. Distinguish the definition from evidence that a particular event occurred. A teaching scenario illustrates an idea; it is not an authenticated historical document or proof of a real event. Application: A campaign seeks equal employment access. This most directly illustrates women's movement. A movement emphasizes nationhood rather than mere inclusion. This most directly illustrates native activism.
