OUR EMILY

Our Padlets about Emilia Pardo Bazán are ready! Each group focussed in one aspect of the writer, with amazing results. Congrats to you all on your amazing job! Take a look...

6ºA: "LETTERS TO GABRIELLE"

This Padlet reflects the feminist side of Emilia, focusing in her friendship with the British writer Gabrielle Cunninghame Graham, who invited her to join the British "Women´s Franchise League". Structured in 3 columns, the 1st one highlights some of the ideas of Emilia about women, the 2nd one explains who Gabriella was and the 3rd one deals with "The Suffragettes", a British feminist movement for the women´s right to vote. Here it is:

6ºB: "EMILY AND THE GHOST" This Padlet shows Emilia´s short story "The deception" (El engaño), which tells the story of a British lady who comes to Coruña to visit the place where sir John Moore died in 1809. It was probably referred to lady Hester Stanhope, a British aristocrat whose legend is closely attached to our city, with a ghost included. So, we investigated who Sir John Moore and Lady Hester were, and when and why the Battle of Elvña happened.

 

6ºC: "OUR EMILY- A BIOGRAPHY" This Padlet is presented as a timeline, highlighting the most significant facts in the life and works of Emilia Pardo Bazán, a stunning and unique woman, always comitted with the idea of equal rights for both genders, especially in education.
