Singing Suffragettes

Average rating:4.9Number of reviews:(28)
In honor of women's history month, we'll learn the song Sister Suffragette from the classic movie musical Mary Poppins. We'll talk about the meaning, including what was going on in that historical time period in the U.S. and the U.K.

Class experience

The students will learn a not-well-known-song from a very well known musical. They'll learn that history pops up in sometimes unlikely places like move musicals. They'll learn that there are connections between those songs, that time period, and their life today. They'll learn how difficult, (though joyful!) it can be to move one's body at the same time one is singing.
It's women's history month and, therefore, appropriate to learn about the women's suffragette movement, including the music. The fact that I am a woman is important. People who have been historically disenfranchised, women, people of color, children, should be able to determine who tell their stories.
No materials will be provide by the teacher. However, at the end of the class, a list of searchable terms (for Google or YouTube) will be made available for students who would like to further explore the song and/or the historical time period.
There is one term in the song that I don't like: "stupid." I will discuss with the students why I don't ever call anyone "stupid" and that for our class we will use an appropriate, 2-syllable substitute word. In an ongoing class, we would spend time talking about the power of labeling people, but for this class, I will simply make the substitution of "silly."
