The Suffrage Movement Definition in 25 Words

             


The coming September in New Zealand we are having an election to vote for a Prime Minister. So for Reading we are learning about the history of New Zealand parliament and a very special New Zealander who has had a huge impact on women rights. Her name is Kate Sheppard. So far we have been learning about the Suffrage movement, and a lot of things New Zealand's parliament has been through like the governors powers are restricted or New Zealand became the first country to let women vote. 

The DLO above is my groups definition of the suffrage movement. For this task we worked collaboratively to write a 25 word summary about what the suffrage movement was. We watched a video explaining the suffrage movement. I was working with Jeremiah, Mataio and Tiava. One thing that I found interesting was that people risked their lives so that women can vote. We all contributed to this by talking to each other to decide if what we had written made sense, and if the information we had found answered our question.
