INTERDISCIPLINARY UNITFEMINISM: ENGLISH and SOCIAL STUDIES

What is Feminism? Feminism is a lot of things to a lot of people: there's Amazon feminism (the one that scares so many men), Anarchist feminist, Anti-pornography Feminism, Pro-pornography Feminism, Cyberfeminism, First wave Feminism (get the vote), Third wave Feminism (our bodies, ourselves), Islamic Feminism (Yes, that’s a thing), Liberal Feminism (Hillary Clinton), Lipstick Feminism (feminists who like to wear makup and short skirts), and the list goes on and on and on. So what is Feminism and how does it change our construction of reality?

Suffragists! Make your voice heard!

“Imagine that you live in Canada before all women had the right to vote. You are outraged by the inequality, and you are going to be heard!” http://canadasuffrage.ca/

For the next five weeks you will be exploring Feminism and its historical role in Canadian society. At the end of this unit, you will EITHER write a letter to the editor protesting for or against the suffragette movement in Canada, OR you will create a poster for the cause of Suffragettes, in a style appropriate to the historical era. This assignment is a Canada Wide Contest - selected winners win prizes!!!.

The letter to the editor must be 300-400 words in length. The poster must include text and image (the image has to be original). For each option you must include an author’s note (150-200 words). In the author’s note you must explain your intent; What was your goal in writing the letter? How did you convey your ideas in the poster? How was your voice is projected to the intended audience? How did you used historical facts and information to set the right tone and mood for the piece?

When complete, you will submit your finished product (letter to editor or poster) to the contest along with your author’s note.
