Week 2 Day 3 Summer Learning Journey 2019 - 2020

WEEK 2: I HAVE A DREAM...
Politics and Activism
DAY 3: WOMEN’S RIGHTS
Activity 1 & 2 and 3 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Activity 1: The Right to Vote [4 points]

Kate Sheppard was a very famous and important New Zealander. In the late 1800s, she fought for women to have the right to vote in elections. She did this by creating petitions (lists with the names of people who supported her), running public meetings, writing letters to the newspaper, and talking to politicians. As a result of her hard work, women in New Zealand (NZ) were first granted the right to vote in 1893. This made NZ the first country in the world to give women the right to vote. We call this right ‘women’s suffrage’.
In honour of Kate Sheppard’s work, the NZ government has put her image on the current $10 note.
For this activity, let’s imagine that the government decides to create a new $10 bank note and replace Kate with a picture of a different New Zealand woman. On your blog, tell us who you think the government should put on the new $10 note. Please provide us with a picture of this amazing woman and a short explanation of why you have selected her as Kate Sheppard’s replacement.

Activity 1: The Right to Vote [4 points]
Who Did I choose? - Kate Sheppard
My Honest Opinion - To be honest I wouldn't want to replacement Kate Sheppard on the New Zealand 10 Dollars , Please keep in mind I am not trying to take short cuts or just do it because I can't think of anyone , I just wouldn't want to replace Kate Sheppard!
 Why did I still sticked with Kate Sheppard?
I sticked with Kate Sheppard because she was my favorite person on the New Zealand 10 dollar notes but not only to me she was a beautiful role model to many people in the world. As I grew up I very slowly getting to know her better and better until this day! Plus she has given all of us humans mainly the woman and she fighted why should us New Zealand Women should Vote and Why Women should vote all mainly because the only people who were only men who were actually voting rejecting us Women's and she knew it was UNFAIR !! In the year of 1885, she established the Women's Christian Balance Union and, two a long time afterward, got to be pioneer of its suffrage campaign. A few suffrage bills fizzled some time recently Modern Zealand Parliament at long last allowed ladies the proper to vote in 1893 meaning all the women got the rights to vote with the men at every election that was going happen. As Kate Sheppard was successful in New Zealand she went around world going into different countries giving all Womens rights to vote at elections! If Kate Sheppard didn't do what she did us Womens wouldn't have the chances of voting , But Thank god she did . People will never forget what she done for us Womens! 
Task Description : This week I am learning about how to finish a task within a time frame as well as doing the task propley and also to have fun . My Favoutive part was writing about Kate Sheppard and why I wanted to stay with her and what she did and why.

Activity 2: The Right to an Education [4 points]
Malala Yousafzai is a woman who was born and raised in Pakistan. In 2012, she was shot and wounded when traveling home on the bus from school. At the time, girls (and women) living in Pakistan were not encouraged, or even allowed, to go to school. It is widely believed that Malala was attacked because she (and her father) did not agree with this idea and they felt that women had the right to an education.
Once Malala recovered from her injuries she continued to advocate (fight) for the rights of all women to receive an education. For this work, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014 - the youngest person to ever receive this prestigious prize. You can read more of her story here.

As well as giving speeches in front of many very important and influential people, Malala has written books about her own life. She has also written a book for children called Malala’s Magic Pencil.

For this activity, we would like you like you to write a short story. The story can be about anything that you wish but to receive full points it must be at least 10 sentences long!
On your blog, share your short story. We can’t wait to read it!

Activity 3: Belle of the Ball [6 points]
Emma Watson is a movie star who started acting in films when she was just nine years old. You might recognise her as Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter films or ‘Belle’ from the Disney adaptation of Beauty and the Beast.

When Emma is not acting, she spends a lot of time giving speeches and advocating for the rights of women and girls. In 2014 she launched the HeForShe campaign which encourages men and boys to actively support women and girls by speaking out about gender equality - the idea that males (men) and females (women) have the same rights. Emma is also an avid reader who started her own worldwide book club!

Let’s imagine that Emma has just emailed you and asked for your help. She needs a recommendation for a great book for her book club. She also needs you to prepare a short review of the book to share with her readers.
For this activity, choose a book that you like and write a short review of it. In the review, tell us what the book is about and what you like about it. On your blog, share your book review with a photo or illustration (drawing) of the book.

WEEK 2: I HAVE A DREAM...
Politics and Activism
DAY 2: TAKING ACTION
Activity 1 & 2 and 3 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Activity 1: A Long Walk to Freedom [4 points]
Nelson Mandela was an activist and civil rights leader who was born and raised in South Africa. For over 40 years (1948-1991), the country of South Africa had a political system called ‘apartheid’. This meant that there were different rules for people who had white skin than for those who didn’t. Nelson Mandela felt that this was very wrong and he fought for many years to change the law. Eventually he became the President of South Africa and ended apartheid, but not before spending 27 years in prison.

In Robben Island prison (where Mandela spent 18 years), life was very tough. Mandela had a tiny, damp, concrete cell, with only a straw mat to sleep on. During the day he was forced to work in a quarry, breaking rocks into gravel. He was only allowed to see one visitor and receive one letter every six months. At night, Nelson read and studied to be a lawyer.
For this activity, please imagine that you are Mr Mandela and that you are living at Robben Island prison. You have been given a journal and each night you write in it. On your blog, write a journal entry imagining that you are Mr Mandela. What do you think he did each day? How did he feel? Include as much detail as you can in the journal entry.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Activity 2: School Strike for Climate [4 points]
You may have heard people talking about an issue called ‘Climate change’. Climate change refers to an increase in the temperature of our planet. Warmer temperatures can cause natural disasters (floods, storms, droughts, bushfires, hurricanes, etc), rising sea levels, and the extinction (disappearance) of plants and animals.

Many people in New Zealand (and overseas) are worried about climate change, including Greta Thunberg, a 16 year old girl from Sweden. She believes that climate change is not only real, but that it is a “crisis”. She is upset that adults, particularly governments and powerful people, are not taking climate change seriously. In 2018 she began protesting outside the Swedish government buildings every Friday instead of going to school. She inspired the School Strike for Climate protests and, in 2019, spoke to the United Nations about her concerns. Not everyone, however, is convinced that climate change is really happening.
For this activity, we would like you to explore the School Strike for Climate Australia website.
On your blog, list three facts (things) that you learned, and include a photograph of something that you are doing around home to help the environment.

Activity 3: “I Have a Dream” [6 points]
Martin Luther King Jr was a Christian minister in the United States of America (USA) in the 1950s and 1960s. He spent much of his life fighting for equality (equal rights) for people of colour. At the time, there were laws that kept black and white people separated - they went to different schools, used different toilets, and even sat in different parts of a bus and ate in different areas of a restaurant. This was called ‘segregation.’

Dr King did not agree with these laws and he led many protests against them. He was joined in his protests by many people, including an African American woman named Rosa Parks. In 1955, Rosa boarded a bus in Alabama (USA) and when the bus filled up with people, she refused to give up her seat to a white passenger. You can read about this famous incident here and watch a video about Rosa Parks here.
The brave actions of people like Martin Luther King Jr and Rosa Parks were instrumental in changing the way that African Americans (people of colour) were treated in the United States.
For this activity, please consider the problem that black men and women faced in America at this time.
On your blog, describe the problem. What did Rosa Parks do about the problem? How did other people react?

                           Activity 3: Rosa Parks [6 points]
Rosa Park was born on February the 4th 1913,Tuskegee, Alabama in the United States. When Rosa park wanted to make a change in the United States of America as well as the whole world so on December the 1st of 1955 at the age of 42 years old she took the bus and even the buses separated the African people to the american people so basically they would have half of the bus!! Until a American had no where to sit because the bus was already full the bus driver told Rosa Parks rudely to "MOVE" so that kid could have her seat she calm in the first place. Rosa denied to move to give her seat to the American because it was all stupid nonsense in Rosa Parks Eyes . She was sick and tried of how the USA was treating the American people to separate the away from the African people just because of there races and colours, It just wasn't fair at all! Until the bus driver called the police on Rosa Parks for refusing to follow the laws rules that was layed out soon later Rosa parks was Asserted! But what Rosa Parks did everyone was mad because of the Laws were stupid and they shouldn't be doing that , As the angry people stood by Rosa parks the Government saw and said " We can't do this to anymore to the Americans and African people" So they made a change and everything was equal on the buses and no matter where you sit it races and colours were all sitting together on the bus. Rosa Parks made a difference and everyone will never forget what she did because its unforgettable to forget!
Task Description: This week I am learning about how to finish a task within a time frame as well as doing the task propley and also to have fun . This task was unforgettable to forget because of what Rosa Parks did was phenomenal , I personally enjoy this task because Rosa Parks story is just too good that I would forget about it!

Let’s imagine you were to write a letter to Jacinda Ardern about an issue that is really important to you, and to ask her for help. It could be something serious to do with education, health or welfare, or it could be something more fun and crazy - you decide!
For this activity, please write a letter that includes the issue you have chosen, why you have chosen it, and what you would like our Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, to do about it. It is your job to persuade us (and her!) that it’s an important issue. On your blog, share your letter to Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.

Because I my head it really doesn't matter what your age is young or old or middle age you can still achieve your goals no matter what. It really all depends on how bad you want your dream and how much determination you put into it. Laura Dekker is a great example for this because she wanted to travel the world and she did at such a young age.

he was a young man, however, he became a Muslim and converted to Islam. When he converted, he changed his name to Muhammad Ali. During his life, Ali gave a lot of time and money to various charities. He also helped to feed more than 22 million people across the world who didn’t have enough food. Despite all of his charitable work, Muhammad Ali is still best known for his agressive boxing style, his confident personality and his inspirational quotes.

Question - If I got the chance to rechoose my name and change it to something else what name would I choose? Answer - To be honest I wouldn't want to change my bit not even a single bit because I actually love my name because my name got given to me by my parents! Why do I want to keep it? My parents agreed on using and putting my name after the Lily Flower but instead that had putted 2 L's instead of 1 so that made up half of my name Lilly leaving the Ana which is the other half of my name , I got it from my half of my Mum's name so half of her name got put in my name to create my name Lillyana!!
