  10. Reading Comprehension (18) In the territory of Wyoming on September 6, 1870, for the first time anywhere in the United States, women went to the polls to cast their ballots. By 1870, the women’s suffrage movement had battled unsuccessfully for 30 years on the East Coast. The big surprise to everyone was that the first victory for women’s right to vote occurred in Wyoming, where there had been no public speeches, rallies, or conventions for the women’s suffrage movement. Instead, there had been just one remarkable woman: Esther Morris.

  11. A One-Woman Campaign • Her one-woman campaign is a classic example of effective politics. She managed to persuade both rival candidates in a territorial election to promise that, if elected, they would introduce a bill for women’s suffrage. She knew that, as long as the winner kept his word, women’s suffrage would score a victory in Wyoming. The winning candidate kept his promise to Esther Morris, which led to this historic Wyoming voting event in 1870.

  12. Reading Comprehension • According to the article, why is it surprising that Wyoming was the first state to allow women to vote? • A. Few people knew about formal elections. • B. There was a small population of women in the state. • C. The community showed no obvious interest in the issue. • D. The efforts on the East Coast were moving ahead quickly.

  13. Writing Strategies (12) • We can adapt to a range of climates and even underground living is something we can do if we have to. • Which change to the underlined clause would make it more consistent with the first part of the sentence? • A. even underground living can be done by us if we have to. • B. even we can live underground if we have to. • C. we can even live underground if we have to. • D. Leave as is

  14. One Essay • Biographical Narrative • Expository • Persuasive • Response to Literature • Business Letter

  15. Writing Task • Throughout your years in school, you have studied about many different people. Think about one of these people you have studied during your time at school. What makes this person special enough to study? • Write an essay in which you discuss a person you have studied in school. Explain what it is about this person that is special. Use details and examples to support your ideas.
