Women Suffrage - tic tac toe

 Yesterday in Nga Tangata we started looking at women suffrage. The group I am in has to read 3 articles about Kate Sheppard. After we read the articles we have to do an activity. The activity is a tic tac toe(do 3 in a row). I asked my teacher if I could do a Kahoot with my friend about women suffrage and Kate Sheppard. The other tasks I did were list 2 things you're learnt from the text and your opinion about the text. Here is the work I did(not the kahoot). 

Women Suffrage

 Today in Nga Tangata we are learning about women suffrage and Kate Sheppard. I have learnt about women suffrage before. We looked at some videos about Kate Sheppard. After we watched the videos we shared back with the teacher. Then after sharing with the teacher we have to define some words in our own words. After we did that we have to do a comprehension. The comprehension is about women suffrage. After we read the article it came with we have to answer some questions. Here are the definitions and the answers to the questions.

Definitions:
Parliament: Parliament means a group of people in the government. 

Suffrage: Suffrage means wanting the right to vote.

Convince: Convince means trying to make someone do something/agree. 

Prohibitionist: Prohibitionist is someone who prohibition.


Answers:
The year that Maori men could vote is in the 1867s.

The reason why men thought women should not vote is because they thought they should be in the kitchen, keeping the house clean and looking after the kids. Another reason why they thought women should not vote is because they thought women should stay home and cook

The statement drinking their wages means that the men would go out the spend their wages on alcohol.

The WCTU help the poor by visiting hospitals, prisons and also setting up a soup kitchen to help men not spend their wages on alcohol.

The main forms that they used in their protests were giving out newspapers, leaflets had meetings and also held huge protest gatherings with inspiring speeches. 

The reason why she is on our 10$ note is so we can remember her and what she did. 

Women's Suffrage Movement

 Today in reading my group Superman had to read about women suffrage. The book was called The Fight To Vote. After we read that we have to write a paragraph about women's suffrage. I asked my teacher if I could change it so my writing was still about women's suffrage but it was like I am writing about my experience. Here is my writing.

Women's Suffrage haves been going on for a long time. I was one of the people who were marching along the street yelling to make a change in the world. I remember going out for a walk one day and going to other people houses and asking the ladies inside what they do all day and I only remember hearing that all they would be in the kitchen or in the garden or cleaning the house. Personally, I thought that was really unfair. I was not allowed to vote for a long time. I felt like we had no power and all we were made for was to stay in the house. I was so glad when we could vote because I felt like we had more power and that we weren't just meant for the kitchen. I love the new system. It was personally one of the big things that happened to me. I remember being let to vote for the first time in my life. 

Women In The War

Today we started doing stuff about the war. We had to make a DLO about women in the war. We have to learn about the women in the war so we can tell our kids if we have them about the war. The DLO had questions and answers. Here is the DLO.
