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 Emily Davison's early life and education.

Before we start, I would 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 diptheria, literature, degree.

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

Diptheria.

Literature.

Degree.

Good job.

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

Diptheria was a common childhood disease in Victorian England which affected the throat or skin.

Literature is written work such as stories, poems, and plays.

A degree is a certificate to show someone has completed studying a subject at university.

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

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

Emily Davison's childhood, Emily Davison's education.

In the first learning cycle, we'll explore Emily Davison's childhood.

This is Emily Davison in this photograph here.

She is considered a very important person in history.

Why do you think she is important? Hmm.

Well, you might know that she was the woman who was very sadly knocked over by a horse and killed in the tragedy at the Epsom Derby in 1913.

However, before 1913, she did many other important things during her life, which she could also be remembered for.

Emily Davison was born in 1872, when the queen of Britain was Queen Victoria.

This was 80 years before Queen Elizabeth II became queen of the United Kingdom, and around 150 years before today.

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

Who was ruling Britain when Emily Davison was born? King George V, Queen Victoria, Queen Elizabeth II? Pause the video here and have a quick discussion with your learning partner, and press play when you're ready to continue.

If you said that Queen Victoria was ruling when Emily Davison was born, you are absolutely right.

Well done.

Emily Davison was born in Victorian Britain in South East London.

You can see where South East London is on that map of the United Kingdom.

She had three siblings and nine half-siblings, and she was lucky because her family could afford to pay to send her to school.

Now, sadly, in Victorian Britain, lots of children died from illness and diseases, even the families with lots of money.

Emily's sister was one of those children, and she sadly died from a disease called diptheria when she was only eight years old.

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

There were lots of illnesses and diseases in Victorian Britain.

Is that true or false? What do you think? There were lots of illnesses and diseases in Victorian Britain.

True or false? That is true.

Now let's take a look at these two statements here.

Which would help to justify your answer? Lots of adults got diseases like diptheria.

Lots of children got diseases like diptheria.

Pause the video here, have a discussion with your learning partner.

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

What did you think? If you said lots of children got diseases like diptheria, then you're absolutely right.

Well done.

This brings us to our first learning task.

Can you add labels to this photo of Emily Davison telling us about what you know about her? So pause the video here, give yourself enough time to add those labels to that photograph, and press play when you're ready to continue.

How did that go? Shall we take a look at an example? So she is considered important in history.

She had three siblings and nine and a half-siblings.

She died at the Epsom Derby in 1913.

She was born in 1872 in South East London.

She lived in Victorian Britain.

Her sister died of diptheria.

Well done if you were able to add some labels to that photo of Emily Davison, 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 Emily Davison's education.

Emily loved going to school, and she was very good in class.

She loved reading and literature the most.

Literature is written work such as stories, poems, and plays.

Look at that painting there of children at school around the same time that Emily would've been.

Emily did so well at school that she was able to go to university, where she decided to study her favourite subject, literature.

You can see a photo of Emily Davison there.

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

What is literature? Maths work such as adding and subtracting.

Science work such as experiments.

Written work such as stories and poems. Pause the video here, and give yourself a moment to think, and press play when you're ready to continue.

What did you think? If you said written work such as stories and poems, you're absolutely right.

Well done.

Now, Emily, she did very well and finished all of her exams at university with the highest marks.

Now, when people finish all of their exams at university, they usually get given a degree at the end of it.

This is a very important certificate to show that someone has completed studying that subject at university.

Now, even though Emily finished all of her exams, she was not allowed a degree.

Why do you think she was not allowed a degree? Have a look at that photo there of Emily Davison in her graduation cap.

That's what you wear when you have finished your degree and successfully finished your exams. Well, Emily was not allowed a degree because she was a woman.

Emily thought it was extremely unfair that only men were allowed to get degrees, but she could do nothing to change this at the time.

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

Can you match the keyword to the correct definition? So we have degree and literature, written work such as stories, poems, and plays, a certificate to show someone has completed studying a subject at university.

Pause the video here, and have a quick discussion with your learning partner, and match the keyword to the correct definition.

You can press play when you're ready to continue.

What did you think? Shall we take a look? Well, a degree is a certificate to show someone has completed studying a subject at university.

And literature is written work such as stories, poems, and plays.

Well done if you matched those correctly.

For the next few years, Emily became a teacher at different schools and even went to university for a second time to study literature again.

For the second time in 1908, she passed all of her exams with the highest marks, and again, she was not allowed a degree because she was a woman.

This time, Emily wanted to change this.

Let's take a moment here.

Can you help Aisha to complete her complete sentence? Emily Davison was not allowed a degree in 1895 and in 1908 because.

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

How did you get on? Could you help Aisha complete her sentence? Well, Emily Davison was not allowed a degree in 1895 and 1908 because she was a woman.

Well done if you were able to complete that sentence.

In 1908, there were lots of people in Britain who were fighting for women to be able to vote.

They were mostly women, but some men were part of these groups too.

They wanted women to be able to vote so that they could be part of deciding who should run the country and how it should be run.

If women could get the right to vote in Britain, things could start to change.

For example, if women could vote, they could vote for a leader who would allow women to get a degree after studying so hard for years and passing all of their exams. In 1908, making change happen in Britain was so important to Emily that she decided to quit her teaching job and spend all of her time fighting for women to have the right to vote.

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

Is this statement true or false? In 1908, Emily Davison quits her job as a teacher.

Is that true or false? If you said that's true, you're absolutely right.

Now, looking at these two statements, which would help to justify your answer? Emily Davison wanted to spend her weekends fighting for women to have the right to vote.

Emily Davison wanted to spend every day fighting for women to have the right to vote.

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.

If you said that Emily Davison wanted to spend every day fighting for women to have the right to vote, you're absolutely right.

Well done.

This brings us to our final learning task of this lesson.

Can you put these events in Emily Davison's life into the correct order, starting with the earliest as number one? Emily went to study literature at university.

Emily quit her teaching job to spend more time fighting for women to be able to vote.

Emily was born in 1872.

Emily was not allowed a degree.

Emily's sister died from a disease called diptheria.

So pause the video here and give yourself enough time to put these events in Emily Davison's life into the correct order, starting with the earliest as number one, and press play when you're ready to continue.

How did that go? Shall we take a look at the order? So the first one, Emily was born in 1872.

Secondly, Emily's sister died from a disease called diptheria.

Thirdly, Emily went to study literature at university.

Fourth, Emily was not allowed degree.

And fifth, Emily quit her teaching job to spend more time fighting for women to be able to vote.

Well done if you were able to get those in the correct order, and well done for completing this learning task.

Before we finish this lesson, let's summarise what we've learned about Emily Davison's early life and education.

Emily Davison was born in 1872 in Victorian Britain and was lucky enough to go to school.

Diseases were common in Victorian Britain, and one of Emily's sisters died from a disease called diptheria when she was eight.

Emily loved reading so much that she went to university twice to study literature and passed all her exams with the highest marks.

As a woman, Emily was not allowed to get a degree.

In 1908, Emily quit her teaching job to join lots of people fighting for women to have the right to vote in Britain.

Thank you for joining me in this lesson today.

I hope to see you in the next one.

See you next time.
