Hello, my name is Mrs. Tipping and I'm really looking forward to learning with you today all about significant individuals who change 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 Davison and Paul Stephenson's stories are similar.

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

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

The key words we'll be using today are Suffragettes, arrested, equality.

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

Suffragettes, arrested, equality.

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

Let's take a look at each of their definitions.

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

When someone is arrested, they are taken away by the police because they have broken the law.

Equality means when everyone is treated fairly and in the same way.

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 are Emily and Paul's stories similar? What did they help to change? In the first learning cycle, we'll look at how Emily and Paul's stories are similar.

Emily Davison and Paul Stephenson lived many years apart and we're not alive at the same time, but their stories are similar in lots of ways.

So we have a photo of Emily Davison here on the left and an illustration of Paul Stephenson on the right.

Can you think of any ways that Emily Davison and Paul Stephenson were similar? Pause the video here and have a quick discussion with your learning partner.

Can you think of any ways that Emily Davison and Paul Stephenson were similar? And press play when you are ready to continue.

Well, the main similarity between them is that they both fought for important changes to happen in Britain.

Let's take pause here and check our understanding.

Emily Davison and Paul Stephenson both fought for important changes to happen in: France, America, or Britain? Take a moment to think.

Which word finishes this sentence? If you said Britain, you're absolutely right.

Emily Davison and Paul Stephenson both fought for important changes to happen in Britain.

Here are some important events in Emily Davison's life.

Emily Davison was a very intelligent woman and she went to university twice.

However, when she passed all of her exams, she was not allowed a degree certificate because she was a woman.

Men were allowed a degree certificate, but women were not.

Another thing men could do in 1900, but women were not allowed to, was vote for the government and the leader of the country.

Both of these unfair things made Emily very angry and she joined a group called the Suffragettes.

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

Emily was involved in both the peaceful and violent methods the Suffragettes used to get the attention of more people.

They hoped that getting more attention meant that the government couldn't ignore them and that they would allow women to vote.

Emily was arrested lots of times by the police and even went to prison for doing things like refusing to move from a street when the police told her to.

Sadly, in 1913, she was hit by a horse at the Epsom Derby.

When Emily died of her injuries, she became remembered as a very brave woman who did everything she could to fight for women to have the right to vote in Britain.

Five years after she died in 1918, the government in Britain gave women the right to vote.

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

Select the statements that are true about Emily Davison.

Emily never went to university.

Emily was arrested by the police.

Emily was a teacher.

Pause the video here and have a discussion with your learning partner and press play when you're ready to continue.

What did you think? Shall we take a look? So, it's false.

Emily never went to university because she did.

Emily was arrested by the police, that is true.

And Emily was a teacher, that is also true.

Well done, if you are able to select those true statements.

So we have taken a look at Emily Davison and some important moments in her life.

Now let's take a look at some of the important events in Paul Stephenson's life.

Around 50 years later, Paul Stephenson was fighting for something different to change in Britain.

Paul had grown up in Britain being treated differently and unfairly because he was Black.

By the 1960s, there were lots of people being treated unfairly in Britain because of the colour of their skin.

Paul wanted this to change.

He started working with young people as a youth worker in Bristol.

Soon after this, Paul and four other people from the Caribbean started the Bristol Bus Boycott.

Bus companies in Bristol in the 1960s would only give jobs to white people.

The boycott meant that people would stop using the buses in Bristol until the bus companies agreed to change this.

The boycott was successful.

And from 1963, the bus companies in Bristol began to let people of colour work for them.

Paul knew that more still needed to be done to make life fairer for people of colour in Britain.

There were no laws back then to say that nobody was allowed to be treated differently because of the colour of their skin.

In Bristol, Black people were not allowed into the Bay Horse pub.

So Paul walked in there one day and was arrested by the police.

Just like Emily's story, this meant that lots of people heard about what happened.

Paul wanted to get the attention of more people.

He hoped this would mean that the government couldn't ignore the problems people of colour were having.

In 1965, the government made a new law to make sure everyone was treated fairly in Britain.

The law said that nobody was allowed to be treated differently because of their skin colour.

We still have this law today and Paul is remembered as a very brave man who did everything he could to fight for everyone to be treated fairly in Britain.

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

Can you select the statements that are true about Paul Stephenson? Paul was always treated fairly.

Paul was arrested by the police.

Paul was a teacher.

Pause the video here and have a discussion with your learning partner and press play when you're ready to continue.

How did you get on? Shall we take a look? So, this is false.

Paul was not always treated fairly.

The second statement is true, Paul was arrested by the police.

And the third statement is also true, Paul was a teacher.

Well done, if you were able to select the true statements.

This brings us to our first learning task.

I'd like you to sort the statements into the correct column below.

So we have Emily Davison in the first column.

The second column is both Emily and Paul.

And then the third column is Paul Stephenson.

So looking at these statements we have was a Suffragette, was arrested by police officers, wanted everyone to be treated the same, was a youth worker, wanted women to be able to vote, was a teacher.

So pause the video here and give yourself enough time to sort the statements into the correct columns and press play when you're ready to continue.

How did that go? Shall we take a look at the answers? So firstly, Emily Davison was a Suffragette.

Paul Stephenson was a youth worker.

And both Emily and Paul were arrested by police officers.

Emily Davison wanted women to be able to vote.

Paul Stephenson wanted everyone to be treated the same.

And both Emily and Paul were teachers.

Well done, if you were able to sort those statements into the correct columns and well done for completing that learning task.

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

We're going to explore the question.

What did they help to change? Both Emily and Paul were angry about something that affected them and other people in Britain.

Can you remember anything that they were angry about? Pause the video here and have a quick discussion with your learning partner.

Can you remember anything that Emily and Paul were angry about? And press play when you're ready to continue.

Well, they were angry about different things.

Emily was angry about women being treated differently to men, and Paul was angry about people being treated differently because of the colour of their skin.

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

Can you match the person to what they wanted to change in Britain? So we've got Emily Davison and Paul Stephenson.

Women being treated differently to men, people being treated differently because of their skin colour.

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

How did that go? Shall we take a look? So Emily Davison, she wanted to change women being treated differently to men.

And Paul wanted to change people being treated differently because of their skin colour.

Well done, if you were able to match the person to what they wanted to change in Britain.

Now, both Emily and Paul were similar because they fought for equality in Britain.

Equality means when everyone is treated fairly and in the same way.

It means that things are equal.

Now can you remember anything Emily or Paul did to fight for equality in Britain? Pause the video here and have a discussion with your learning partner.

Can you remember anything Emily or Paul did to fight for equality in Britain? And press play when you are ready to continue.

Well, let's take a look, shall we? Emily Davison quit her teaching job to spend all of her time fighting for women.

She became a Suffragette because she wanted to fight for equality between women and men.

And Paul, he started the Bristol Bus Boycott and walked into the Bay Horse pub because he was not allowed in there.

Paul organised these protests in Bristol because he wanted to fight for equality between everyone regardless of their skin colour.

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

Both Emily and Paul fought for equality in Britain.

Is that true or false? What do you think? If you said that's true, you are absolutely right.

Now looking at these two statements, which would help to justify your answer? They were fighting for the same things to change.

They were fighting for different things to change.

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

How did that go? Which of these two statements would help to justify your answer? Well, they were fighting for different things to change.

Well done, if you selected that statement to justify your answer.

Now, did they both help to change Britain? That's a good question.

Well, they are both remembered as brave people who helped to change Britain to make it a fairer place for us to live in today.

So yes, they made some significant changes.

Women are now able to vote and there are now laws in place so that no one can treat anyone unfairly based on the colour of their skin.

This brings us to our final learning task.

I'd like you to decide if the statements below about Emily Davison and Paul Stephenson are true or false.

So they both lived in Britain and helped to make it fairer.

They both fought to change the same thing in Britain.

Paul wanted women to be allowed to vote the same as men.

Emily wanted people to be treated the same regardless of their skin colour.

They were both willing to be arrested to show that something was wrong and should be changed.

Pause the video here and give yourself enough time to decide if the statements below about Emily and Paul are true or false.

So put a tick for true and a cross for false, and press play when you're ready to continue.

How did that go? Shall we take a look at the answers? So the first one, they both lived in Britain and helped to make it fairer.

That's true.

The second one, they both fought to change the same thing in Britain.

That's false.

They fought for different things.

Paul wanted women to be allowed to vote the same as men.

That's false.

Emily wanted people to be treated the same regardless of their skin colour.

That's false.

Paul wanted people to be treated the same regardless of their skin colour.

And Emily wanted women to be allowed to vote the same as men.

And the final statement, they were both willing to be arrested to show that something was wrong and should be changed.

That's true.

Well done, if you were able to sort those statements into true or false and well done for completing that learning task.

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

Emily and Paul didn't live at the same time, but both have a similar story.

They both fought to change something that affected them and other people in Britain and wanted equality.

They were both prepared to be arrested for what they believed in and to show that something was wrong and should be changed.

They're both seen today as brave people who helped to change Britain and make people's lives better.

Thank you for joining me in this lesson.

I hope you enjoyed learning about significant individuals who changed Britain and how they fought for change.
