Life as a Suffragette: Dear diary...

In our writing this week, we have been getting into the character of Maud, a poor, laundry worker who has started to get involved with the suffragettes. Through using film to form the basis of our ideas, we have been able to write diary entries on significant events that have happened in Maud’s life so far. Furthermore, we have been using our knowledge from topic lessons about the suffragette movement to predict what might happen next for Maud.
The children were then able to hot seat each other, asking Maud questions in order to understand her thoughts, feelings and actions to inspire their writing.
