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!

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.
