Protests and demonstrations Teacher notes Protests and demonstrations This photo pack has 2 elements: Pictures from modern protests Picture of Suffragettes The aim of the pack is to develop children’s understanding of: What a protest is and looks like today and in the past Linking protests in the past and present Understanding of past and present Feel free to change the order of the pictures, use just a selection of the pictures or to add pictures of your own or from current news stories. But remember to be aware that images should be appropriate for your class’ age and stage.

Activity Ideas Teacher notes Ask the children to sort the pictures in any way they like. This may lead to discussion of black and white/ colour images. It is important that children understand that old photographs are black and white due to the technology, not because the past happened in black and white. A modern picture taken in black and white is included in the pack. Take two pictures on a similar themes and identify similarities and differences- how do they know which one is older? Discuss the difference between peaceful and non-peaceful protest. Look at the pictures and identify the feelings of the people in the pictures and think why they might feel like that
