Beskrivelse
This book is designed to support younger readers by giving them overtly adult material but where the language has been calculated using a reading age scale on a computer program. Emily Davison died in an incident at the Derby where she was believed to have thrown herself under the King's Horse in a bid to get votes for women. However new analysis from a team led by the broadcaster Clare Balding has cast doubt on that analysis. But first we discover that women had to fight to get the vote. they were attacked, starved, imprisoned but still they carried on. We see how women in Britain today should be grateful for the actions taken by women in the early twentieth century. So what was it that Clare Balding and her team discovered and how does it change what we feel about Emily Davison? in a shocking analysis Balding's team discovered another possible explanation for Davison's death.The material in this book should be accessible to an year 8 student and as such should be ideal reading material for the vast majority of students in schools and F.E. colleges. This book is in a series on Extraordinary lives and is specifically designed to develop reading in teenage males. We were asked by a Midlands College to provide something that encouraged young people to read, since they were literally not reading anything. . The student can then, if they need to, listen to the audio as they read. This will be of interest to schools, colleges and academies where there are reluctant readers.
