In this activity you will decide upon one thing that you would like to change in the world.

Just as Susan B. Anthony published her writings such as //The Revolution,// to influence others to join her suffrage movement, you will create a pamphlet to tell the public about the change you wish to see in the world. Describe WHY it needs to happen, HOW you will go about making these changes, WHO you want to get involved, and WHERE this is going to happen. (Some examples may include putting a stop to pollution, recycling, animal testing etc…)
 * 1.)Create a pamphlet for your cause:**

Susan B. Anthony traveled all around the United States to spread her message, however the majority of her suffrage movement happened in New York State. She traveled from Rochester, to Seneca Falls, to Binghamton, to the capital, Albany, sharing her message. You will create a map of where you think it would be most important to share your message and pamphlet. Be sure to think about important places in your area that will help you to make a change in the world. (An idea may include city hall or other governmental facilities) Be sure to detail where there are people that can help you.
 * 2.) Create a map:**

“Votes for Women”, “No Union with Slaveholders, No Compromise”….These were some slogans Susan B. Anthony used to get her message across during her fight for constitutional rights. Create your own slogan to go along with your message for change and create it on a sign or banner.
 * 3.) Create a Slogan:**

Susan B. Anthony was a very motivational speaker and influenced many through her words. The president has just given you the chance to speak before your country about the change you want to make in the world. You will deliver a 2 minute speech on what you believe needs to happen in the world to gain the votes of your fellow peers. Be sure to use your slogan!
 * 4.)Give a Speech:**
