Description
The Famous Five, also known as the Valiant Five. Louise McKinney, Henrietta Muir Edwards, Emily Murphy, Irene Parlby and Nellie McClung were a group of women who challenged Canadian laws and had women declared persons in the famous Persons Case of 1929.
This resource is part of our Social Studies Drama Circle Bundle.
Drama circles are similar to readers' theatre activities where students read small sections of text. They encourage listening and reading fluency. Best of all, they require only moments to prepare, but students are engaged and learning for an hour or more.
This engaging activity includes:
- directions on how to run a drama circle.
- a teacher quick guide.
- a set of 40 cards (in colour and ink-saving versions).
- a set of discussion questions to do after the drama activity.
- a variety of reading difficulties and amounts of text on the cards so you can differentiate easily for your students.
- a few blank cards if you need to change the language on a card.
Please see the preview for a general idea of the reading difficulty for each card.
This activity aligns with:
- Alberta Program of Studies for most of Division 2 and 3
This activity supports:
- any lesson about historic women, the women's movement in Canada, Women's History Month or International Women's Day.
- any Canadian history lesson.
