#Week 2 DAY 3: WOMEN’S RIGHTS
Activity 1: The Right to Vote:
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.
I think we should put Dame Whina cooper on the $10 note. Why did I choose her ? it's because she dedicated her whole life fighting for Maori land rights and to how Maori women are treated. As the daughter of the tribal chief Heremia Te Wake, Cooper was a highly visible leader. At age 18 she led her first protest--concerning the draining of a local swamp.
Her story is very inspirational because it tells us young people to stand up for what is right instead of sitting back and watch what is happening.
Great choice for the new $10.00 note Akesa - could you possibly put a design on the blog post as well so that I could visually see how it would look? Keep blogging, and commenting on others, to increase your chance of winning one of the awesome prizes and to keep up your learning over the school break!
