The aim of this lesson is to question the motives of Emily Davison. Did she really mean to kill herself or was it a protest that went drastically wrong?

Students learn what a martyr is and then sift through the evidence of her handbag to make some conclusions.

However, not is all as it seems as conflicting source and video evidence only serves to add confusion to the debate as to whether it was an accident or not.

The plenary also requires the students to question whether she can be called a martyr or not and whether she helped the suffragette cause by her Derby protest for the Suffragette cause

This is a fun, engaging and challenging lesson which requires students to evaluate and make judgements using evidence as well as getting them to justify their opinions.

There is also a chance of role play if you feel daring or not as the mystery of her death unfolds.

The lesson is enquiry based with a key question using a lightbulb posed at the start of the lesson and revisited to show the progress of learning.

The resource includes suggested teaching strategies, retrieval practice, differentiated materials and comes in PowerPoint format if there is a wish to adapt and change.
