This learning resource guides students through a comprehensive analysis of the women's suffrage movement in Britain as depicted in the film 'Suffragette' (2015). The resource outlines learning objectives aimed at helping students critically examine the historical, social, and political contexts relevant to the suffrage movement. Key components include a timeline of significant events from 1903 to 1918, character analyses, and reflective questions to encourage engagement with the film’s content. Students are prompted to explore character motivations, the sacrifices made by activists, and the connection between the suffrage movement and broader themes of social justice. The resource also includes sections for scene analysis, dual-coding comparisons of protest tactics, and questions addressing the evolution of the suffragettes' strategies as they faced increased police repression. By evaluating the effectiveness of specific actions and the film's portrayal of historical events, students are encouraged to appreciate the complexities of the struggle for women's rights.
