Hey bloggers,
This term we have been looking at women’s rights. Last week and this week we did a task board wrote information about women’s suffrage and then with that information we made a poster or information report depending on the APLT level we choose. I choose Titan and Titan was doing a information report or a poster an did a poster.
Poster:
My poster is a purple poster with white and it looks really nice. My poster talks about Richard Seddon, Kate Sheppard and the white camellia. My poster is the wrong way and I don’t know why?
White Camellia:
The white camellia is a flower that the supporter of the women’s rights and the red camellia was given to the people who didn’t support Kate Sheppard and her supporters.
What I wrote in my poster:
Kate Sheppard was born on the 10th of March 1847, Liverpool, England. Her full name is Catherine Wilson Sheppard. She created a magazine called ‘Prohibitions’. She died at the age of 87, she was buried in Addington cemetery.
It took me 1 period and like 10 minutes because this was a not that hard!
Opponents of the women’s suffrage movement was led by Richard Seddon and Henry Fish. They employed several people to delay or destroy the bill before it could become law.
The Women’s Christian Temperence Union (WCTU) believed, giving women the vote would cleanup society because men always were drunk and drunken violence was also a big problem in New Zealand. The 1883 petition was massive. It used 546 individual sheets of paper glued together for one single roll. It was 274 meters long, 25,519 signatures. It also weighed over 7kg.
In 1893, when Kate was asking leaders to change the law, her supporters wore white camellias to show they wanted equality. The people who didn’t want any changes wore red camellias.
This is what I wrote in my poster!
Here’s my work:
Bye!
