This discussion revolves around the events covered in Amy Gilman Srebnick's The Mysterious Death of Mary
Rogers: Sex and Culture in Nineteenth-Century New York.
Your Marching Orders
In preparation for this assignment, you will each be named to a special team comprised of about ten members.
Over the course of the week-long discussion, each team will debate the following proposition:
“During the Market Revolution, women found greater freedom in the expanding cities than in rural and smalltown America.”
At the outset of the group discussion, half of the members of each team will be assigned to the affirmative
position -- i.e., to the side that supports the above proposition, and the other half of the team will be assigned to
the negative position -- i.e., to the side that opposes the above proposition.
Debate positions
You will be notified which side you are after add/drop period. NOTE: Your positions will be available in each
Group discussion module.
Drawing upon the narrative presented in Amy Gilman Srebnick’s The Mysterious Death of Mary Rogers,
identify two or three themes that support your side of the argument, and illustrate your analysis with examples
from the book.
The debate will go through two phases:
First Phase
For the first phase each member of your team will have posted a statement of 300-350 words, making the case
for his or her side in the debate.
Second Phase
For the second phase, each participant should post two further statements of 200-250 words, each responding
to an argument made by a team member from the opposing side.
I've already done with the first phase. The option assigned to me is to against “During the Market Revolution,
women found greater freedom in the expanding cities than in rural and small-town America.”
Please write the second phase for me that is about to reply two student with the opposing opinion.
