Women Suffrage / Script

Jack: Women first voted in the Maori Electorates on the 28th of November 1893, and the british colony of New Zealand were the ones who gave women the rights to vote. In 1893, September, Lord Glasgow signed a new electoral act that allowed women to vote, after many years of protesting the women must’ve been relieved.

Alex: New Zealand was the very first country to allow women to vote, after that other countries caught on with the idea and also allowed women to vote. Over a thousand people went to prison because of the suffragette movement, in the prison if they went on hunger strikes they’d be forcibly fed through a tube, most people didn’t fully recover from the treatment.

Nyjah: Kate Sheppard the light of New Zealand. Sheppard had many true facts on why parliament should let women vote. Parliament wouldn’t agree but after getting 400,000 signatures parliament thought to let women vote. 1914 when governments heard what Kate Sheppard had done, 28 more countries followed along and let women vote.    

Victoria: Parliament had granted women to vote in 1891 , 1892 and 1893 / 3 years. As you may know New Zealand is a very lucky country as they were the first to let women vote. How and why you may be asking well because of a very lucky women named Kate Sheppard. She found it hard to convince men to let women vote but she was still able to convince them.

Joseph: Woman didn’t win the right to vote argument until the World war one ended on the 11th of november 1918. The New Zealand’s world leadership in women's suffrage has become part of our national identity.




L.I to make a flip grid together...

This week for Reading our whole group is making a flip grid about the women suffrage. For know we made our scripts on what to say for 1 minute and a half. Each of us wright down our own facts about the suffrage or something based on it. After writing we will have to make our flip grid so in my next post I will showing our video on what we found out about women suffrage or Kate Sheppard.
