Work with students to create interview questions such as the
following:
- What roles do you have?
- What kinds of activities are you involved in?
Have students create their own interview form by
transcribing sentences onto a piece of lined paper, leaving space for
them to record the answers they obtain. Have students interview a
woman family member or friend about what her life is like today. Have
students bring their interview results to class and work together to
share the results. Have students compare how women's lifestyles today
are different or similar from those many years ago.
This may be done formally in a class chart, or
informally in a discussion. Discuss the impact that the Famous 5 had
on women today by talking to students about such things as the ways in
which the Famous 5 helped pass laws that gave women equal rights to
vote, own property and sit in the Senate of Canada.
