MAKING A SPLASH
Suffragists and suffragettes planned demonstrations very carefully. Their aim was to get maximum publicity. Sometimes it took several weeks to plan a really big demonstration such as the 1908 march in London. In the days leading up to a demonstration, they put notices and articles in the newspaper. They also produced leaflets to advertise the demonstration and to hand out to members of the public during the demonstration. Your task is to plan a demonstration on any cause that is really important to you. You can recreate a suffragette demonstration. Or you can plan a demonstration about another issue such as the effects of climate change, or demanding votes for 16-year-olds. You can choose.
