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 describe how some women were eventually allowed to vote in Britain.

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 First World War, vote, factory.

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

First World War.

Vote.

Factory.

Good job.

Now let's look in more detail about what these keywords mean by taking a look at their definitions.

The First World War lasted from 1914 to 1918 and involved countries from all over the world, including Britain.

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

A factory is a big building full of machines for making things.

Pause the video here to make a note of these key words.

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.

What happened in 1914? Working women in the First World War.

In the first learning cycle we will explore what happened in 1914.

In 1914, the year after Emily Davison had died at the Epsom Derby, a world war began.

This war is known as the First World War, which lasted from 1914 to 1918 and involved countries from all over the world, including Britain.

You can see there a British war poster appealing to young men to go and fight in this war.

And lots of British men had to join the army and left Britain to fight in the war.

This meant that they had to leave everything behind, including their jobs in Britain.

You'll see a different British war poster there.

Follow me, your country needs you.

So lots of the men would have left everything and join the army to go and fight in the war.

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

Which war began in 1914? First World War, Second World War, Third World War.

Pause the video here and take a moment to think and press play when you are ready to continue.

If you said First World War, you are absolutely right.

Well done.

In 1914, it was usually the women who did all the work in the home, including looking after the children, cooking and cleaning.

Unlike life in Britain today, most women did not go out to work and get paid, only the men did.

However, when the war began in 1914, a huge number of men left Britain to fight in other countries.

So this had to change.

When the First World War began in 1914, the Suffragettes stopped asking for women to have the vote.

They no longer used any peaceful or militant tactics to convince the government.

The main priority for everyone in Britain in 1914 was the war.

The Suffragettes were very good at organising things, and so they used their skills to put all of their effort into helping with anything needed for the war.

The Suffragettes also made good use of their newspaper to encourage other people to help with the war.

You can see in that photograph there a Suffragette selling newspapers to soldiers.

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

When the First World War started, the Suffragettes continued using militant tactics.

Is that true or false? Pause the video here and have a moment to think and then press play when you are ready to continue.

What did you think? If you said that when the First World War started, the Suffragettes continued using militant tactics, you said that was false, you are absolutely right.

Now looking at these two statements, which of these would help to justify your answer? The Suffragettes smashed windows and asked for women to be able to vote.

The Suffragettes put all their effort into helping with anything needed for the war.

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

Which of these two statements would help to justify your answer? And press play when you're ready to continue.

What did you think? If you said the Suffragettes put all their effort into helping with anything needed for the war, you are absolutely right.

Well done.

This brings us to our first learning task.

I'd like you to choose the correct word to complete the sentences below.

So we have the first one.

The First World War began in 1814 or 1914.

British men had to join the army and leave their jobs or cars behind.

The Suffragette stopped asking for women or men to be able to vote.

In 1914, lots of women worked in the office or home and did not get paid.

So pause the video here.

Give yourself enough time to go through each of these sentences looking at the purple words, and you need to choose one of those to complete the sentences below, and press play when you're ready to continue.

How did that go? Shall we take a look at the answers? So, the First World War began in 1914.

British men had to join the army and leave their jobs behind.

The Suffragette stopped asking for women to be able to vote.

In 1914, lots of women worked in the home and did not get paid.

Well done if you are able to choose the correct word to complete those sentences and well done for completing that learning task.

We're now going to move into the second part of our lesson.

We're going to explore working women in the First World War.

The only people in Britain that could fill the jobs the men had left behind were the women.

They started working in roles that had previously been only for men.

Do you know what job these women are doing? Take a look at that photo there.

Pause the video and have a quick discussion with your partner and then press play when you are ready to continue.

What did you think? What job are these women doing? Well, they are firefighters.

Did you spot their buckets with the word fire on? So that's one of the jobs that the women replaced when the men went to war.

What about this image? Do you know what job these women are doing here? Hmm, have a look.

What clues are there in that photo? Well, they are ambulance drivers.

Could you see the cross on the side of those vehicles? And they're lifting stretchers into the back of those vehicles.

What about this one? What job is this woman doing? Pause the video here and have a quick discussion with your partner and press play when you're ready to continue.

What did you think about this one? Well, she's a mechanic.

She's fixing the cars.

So that's another job a woman did when the men went to war.

And finally, what about this one? What job is this woman doing? Hmm, interesting.

Have a look at what she's wearing.

What's in the background? Hmm.

Well, she's a bus driver and a ticket collector.

So women did lots of different jobs.

They were able to do all of these jobs just as well as the men had been doing them.

They proved that they were strong and clever, but they were still not allowed to become soldiers and fight in the war themselves.

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

Select all the jobs that women did in Britain during the First World War.

Firefighter, soldier, mechanic, bus driver.

What do you think? Pause the video here and have a discussion with your partner.

Select all the jobs that women did in Britain during the First World War and press play when you are ready to continue.

What did you think? If you said they were firefighters, mechanics, and bus drivers you are absolutely right.

The only job they could not do was to become a soldier.

Women also had to do new jobs that were needed for the war, including working in huge factories to make things needed to fight the war.

Have a look at that British war poster.

These women are doing their bit, learn to make munitions.

Hmm, interesting.

So those things included soldiers helmets, weapons, cars, and parts for planes.

Making weapons in factories was dangerous work.

The women who worked in the factories knew this, but they wanted to do everything they could to help with the war.

They were very brave, just like the soldiers who were fighting.

You could see in that photo there there's a woman working in a factory making weapons.

Our British women could not go to war as soldiers, but some of them did go to war in other countries as nurses.

Nurses were essential for helping the injured soldiers at war, and they were in just as much danger as the men.

Have a look at that fantastic photograph there of British women working as nurses at war.

You can see that they are very proud to be there.

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

Can you help Jacob finish this sentence? Women did dangerous jobs during the First World War, for example, So pause the video here and give yourself a moment to help Jacob finish this sentence and press play when you are ready to continue.

How did you get on? Shall we take a look at an example? So women did dangerous jobs during the First World War, for example, working in weapons factories and as nurses at war.

Well done if you were able to help Jacob finish this sentence.

The British people realised how important women had been during the war and that without them, the men wouldn't have been able to fight, and Britain might not have been on the winning side.

Have a look at that poster there.

Women are working day and night to win the war.

As women had easily shown how capable they were of doing the same things as men during the war, in February, 1918, the government allowed women aged 30 and over the right to vote.

The work of women like Emily Davison, the Suffragettes, and all of the women who worked during the war was finally recognised.

However, lots of women were still not allowed to vote, including those aged under 30.

Men in Britain were allowed to vote from the age of 21.

It would take another 10 years before women were allowed to vote from the age of 21, just like men.

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

Choose the correct ending for this sentence.

In 1918, women aged over 30 were tired of working jobs, allowed to vote, allowed to become soldiers.

Pause the video here and take a moment to think and press play when you are ready to continue.

What did you think? If you said in 1918, women aged over 30 were allowed to vote, you are absolutely right.

Well done.

This brings us to our final learning task.

I'd like you to describe to your learning partner why some women were eventually allowed to vote in Britain in 1918.

You could mention these words and phrases, factories, Suffragettes, First World War, brave, nurses, strong.

Pause the video here and give yourself enough time to describe to your learning partner why some women were eventually allowed to vote in Britain in 1918, and press play when you are ready to continue.

How did that go? Shall we take a look at an example? So your answer could include, the Suffragettes had been fighting for women to vote for a long time.

Finally, some women were allowed to vote in Britain in 1918 because they had proved that they were able to do everything that men could do.

Women helped Britain to win the First World War.

Women worked in factories and as nurses showing how strong and brave they were, they showed they deserved the right to vote.

Well done if you were able to describe to your learning partner why some women were eventually allowed to vote in Britain in 1918 and well done for completing that learning task.

Before we finish this lesson, let's summarise what we've learned about changes for women following Emily Davison's death.

In 1914, the year after Emily Davison died, the First World War began and men in Britain had to go to war to fight.

Women had to fill the jobs the men left behind and showed they were just as strong and capable as men.

They also had to do dangerous war jobs, such as making weapons in factories and being nurses at war.

The British people realised how important women had been during the war and how brave Suffragettes like Emily Davison were.

As a result in 1918, women over the age of 30 were allowed to vote.

Thank you for joining me in this lesson today.

I hope to see you in the next one.

See you next time.
