Hello, my name is Mrs. Tipping and I'm really looking forward to learning with you today all about significant individuals who changed Britain.

And we're going to explore the question, how did they fight for change? So shall we get started? Let's go.

By the end of today's lesson, you'll be able to explain why Emily Davidson joined the Suffragettes.

Before we start, I'd like to introduce you to some keywords.

We'll be using these keywords during the lesson, so it might be a good idea to write these words down.

The keywords we'll be using today are vote, Suffragettes.

I'm going to say those again and I'd like you to repeat them after me.

Vote.

Suffragettes.

Good job.

Now let's think in more detail about what these keywords mean.

When someone can vote, they are allowed to make a choice about who runs the country.

The Suffragettes were a group of people who wanted women to have the right to vote in Britain.

Pause the video here to make a note of the keywords and when you are ready to continue, press play.

These are the learning cycles that we'll be working through together in today's lesson.

How women were treated differently in the 1900s.

Who were the Suffragettes? In the first learning cycle, we will explore how women were treated differently in the 1900s.

Emily Davison was a very intelligent woman.

She went to university to study literature twice and passed all her exams. However, she wasn't allowed a degree certificate because she was a woman.

Can you remember what a degree is? Well, a degree is a certificate to show someone has completed studying a subject at university.

Even the men who did worse than Emily in the exams were allowed a degree certificate.

Emily thought that was very unfair and she wanted to change this.

Let's take a moment to pause and check our understanding.

Why was Emily Davison not allowed her degree certificates? She didn't pass her exams. She was kicked out of university.

She was a woman.

Pause the video here and have a discussion with your partner about this question.

Why was Emily Davison not allowed her degree certificates? And press play when you are ready to continue.

What did you think? If you said that Emily Davison was not allowed her degree certificates because she was a woman then you are absolutely right.

Well done.

Now this was not the only way that women were treated differently from men at the start of the 1900s in Britain.

Women were not allowed a bank account, but men were.

Another example is that women in Britain were not allowed to vote.

In 1908, when Emily Davison completed her second university course, only men could vote in Britain.

When someone can vote, they're allowed to make a choice about who runs the country.

Someone was only allowed to run the country if they had the most votes.

People who wanted to run the country would make promises to change things to get people to vote for them.

For example, someone might promise that everyone would get longer summer holidays so that people will vote for them.

The people who are not able to vote for the leader they want don't have the power to change things about how their country is run.

Women in Britain could not vote, and so they could not get things to change to make their lives better.

Let's take a moment to pause and check our understanding here.

Select all the ways that women were being treated differently from men in Britain at the start of the 20th century.

Women could not have a bank account.

Women could not go to university.

Women could not get a degree certificate.

Women could not vote.

Pause the video here and have a discussion with your learning partner about the ways that women were being treated differently from men in Britain at the start of the 20th century.

And press play when you are ready to continue.

What did you think? Well, women could not have a bank account.

Women could not get a degree certificate, and women could not vote.

So they were treated differently from men in those three different ways in Britain at the start of the 20th century.

This brings us to our first learning task.

I'd like you to decide if each statement in the table is true or false.

Women were treated differently from men in Britain at the start of the 20th century.

Emily Davison was allowed two degrees.

Women in Britain were allowed to vote in 1908.

Women in Britain could go to university in 1908.

A vote allows people to make a choice about who runs the country.

So pause the video here and give yourself enough time to think about each of these statements and decide whether they are true or false.

And press play when you are ready to continue.

How did that go? Shall we take a look at some answers? So women were treated differently from men in Britain at the start of the 20th century.

That is true.

Emily Davison was not allowed two degrees.

That is false.

Women were not allowed to vote in Britain in 1908.

That is also false.

Women in Britain could go to university in 1908.

That's true.

A vote allows people to make a choice about who runs the country.

That's true.

Well done, if you were able to decide if each of those statements was true or false, and well done for completing that learning task.

We're now ready to move on to the second part of our lesson.

We're going to explore who the Suffragettes were.

At the start of the 1900s, there were many people in Britain who thought that treating women differently from men was very unfair.

They wanted this to change, and one way to change this would be allowing women to vote for who ran the country.

There were groups of people asking for women to have right to vote in Britain.

One of those groups was known as the Suffragettes.

The Suffragettes were a group of people who wanted women to have the right to vote in Britain.

Let's take a moment to pause and check our understanding.

Can you complete Jun's sentence below? The Suffragettes wanted women in Britain to have the right to.

How can we complete Jun's sentence? Pause the video here and have a discussion with your learning partner.

And press play when you are ready to hear the answer.

How did you get on? So to complete Jun's sentence, the Suffragettes wanted women in Britain to have the right to vote.

Well done if you were able to complete that sentence.

Emily Davison joined the Suffragettes in 1906 and she took part in making "Votes for Women" banners and holding them during marches across the country.

This got people's attention and made them think about the problem.

Have a look there that illustration of the Suffragettes holding "Votes for Women" signs.

When Emily was not allowed her second degree in 1908, she was very angry and wanted change to happen faster.

She quits her job as a teacher to spend every day as a Suffragettes, fighting for women to be able to vote.

Have a look at those women there in that photo.

They're Suffragettes and they're holding a "Votes for women," sign.

Let's take a moment to pause here and check our understanding.

Can you match the year to the correct event? So we have 1906 and 1908.

Emily Davison joined the Suffragettes.

Emily Davison quit her job.

So which of these events happened in which year? Pause the video here, and take a moment to think and match the year to the correct event And press play when you're ready to continue.

What did you think? If you said in 1906, Emily Davison joined the Suffragettes and in 1908, Emily Davison quit her job? You are absolutely right.

Well done.

If women were allowed to vote, they would be able to vote for people who promised to make changes in Britain.

They hoped these changes would make women's lives better.

Important changes would include letting women have a bank account and allowing them to get a degree certificate if they pass their exams at university.

I think that sounds fair, don't you? Let's take a moment to pause here and see who is correct, Sophia or Jacob.

Sophia says, "The Suffragettes wanted all men to be able to vote." Jacob said "Women wanted to be able to vote for people who would make changes to their lives." So who is correct? Sophia or Jacob? Pause the video here and have a discussion with your partner and press play when you are ready to continue.

How did that go? Shall we take a look? Well, in this instance, Jacob is correct.

Women wanted to be able to vote for people who would make changes to their lives.

This brings us to our final learning task.

I'd like you to create a "Votes for Women" poster that Emily Davison could have used.

You should include something about women being allowed to vote and what else women wanted to change.

So pause the video here, make sure that you give yourself enough time and have everything you need to create a "Votes for Women" poster that Emily Davidson could have used.

And press play when you are ready to continue.

How did you get on? Did you manage to create a poster? Let's take a look at an example.

So your poster could have included something like this.

Votes for women.

Women should be able to vote in Britain.

Make Britain more fair.

Women should be allowed degree certificates and bank accounts.

Well done if you were able to create a poster for Emily Davison that she could have used at that time and well done for completing this learning task.

Before we finish this lesson, let's summarise what we've learned about Emily Davison and the Suffragettes.

Emily Davison was not allowed a degree certificate twice just because she was a woman.

Something else that women were not allowed to do was to vote.

Both of these things made Emily very angry and she wanted change.

In 1906, Emily joined a group of people who wanted women to be allowed to vote in Britain, the Suffragettes.

In 1908, Emily quit her job to fight every day for women to have the right to vote.

Thank you for joining me in this lesson today.

I hope to see you in the next one.

See you next time.
