On the Mary Blalock reading, p. 138-139, Rethinking Our Classrooms, Volume 2
I notice that the writer of
“A Bill of Rights for Girls,” Mary Blalock, was a high school senior and
intended the piece as “a pamphlet to distribute to middle-school girls.” I
would love to know if they did distribute it to middle-school girls and if
those girls had a class discussion or wrote about it. A magazine collage
response would be great too. (I did a search on the piece and got nothing.)
Part of what I like about “A
Bill of Rights for Girls” is the conversational tone. She says, “I wish that I
had known about this when I was younger, but I had to go through a lot before
getting on the right track again.” To middle school girls, she would definitely
seem older, maybe just enough to be a good person to talk with about these issues.

I would love it if
the cohort gave ideas to expand on some of the in-school projects we are
reading and hearing about this quarter, such as this one.
