Women suffrage

 Hi, guys today in Nga Tangata P3 we were looking at things to do with women suffrage and Kate Sheppard. We looked at some videos about her and looked at some facts. For something we have to do is do some Vocab words. After you had finished the vocab you started on reading a small article and doing the questions which were given. Here it is and I hope you enjoy it.

Suffrage - Suffrage means the right to vote in political elections.
Convince - Convince means trying to talk to someone and try to have them believe in what you are telling them.
Parliament - Parliament means a group of people who represent a nation in politics.
Prohibitionist - Prohibitionist is someone who participants in the prohibition (Which is the action of forbidding something)

Questions - 
In 1867, Maori men gained the right to be able to vote on who would be the government.
I think that people back in the olden days thought that women shouldn't vote was because worldwide it was believed that women should stay in the kitchen, clean, and also stay home to look after their children.
The statement "Drinking their wages" means that the men who made the money went out to go drinking instead of help spending their money to help their families.
The WCTU helped the poor by visiting hospitals, prisons, set up soup kitchens, and also tried to get men to stop drinking their wages.
The main form of protest that women used to change the law was people writing newspapers, giving out leaflets, and also holding protest gatherings which speeches.
Kate Sheppard is on our $10 note to remember what Kate Sheppard did and to also remember her.
