Read the article "It's Way Too Hard to Find Statues of Notable Women in the U.S." Then
research and propose one woman you think should be honored with a statue in the U.S.
(
For
example, you might consider female local or national political leaders, authors or
poets, scientists
, or community activists.) Then write an Op-Ed making an argument for
the
creation
of this new statue and where it should be placed.
GUIDANCE:
Use details from the reading selection and your own research to thoroughly develop and support your
claim. Consider alternate or opposing claims
your readers might make, and give evidence to rebut them.
Be sure to establish and maintain a formal
and persuasive tone.
