This is a Scottish National 4/5 History lesson on British suffrage campaigns. While the content is appropriate for experiences of people from across Britain, some activities are tailored towards the Scottish examination system. As I operate a mixed class, there are activities designed for both National 4 and National 5 included within the lesson.

Students will undertake a comparative study of the actions and impacts of the Suffragettes and Suffragists. Students will compare the strengths and weaknesses of each campaign. Students will learn about the impacts of WWI on the Suffrage campaigns, and the impacts of the campaigns themselves on women gaining the vote in 1918/1928. Students then have practice exam questions to complete.
