The vote

For this activity, let’s imagine that the government decides to create a new $10 bank note and replace Kate with a picture of a different New Zealand woman.

On your blog, tell us who you think the government should put on the new $10 note. Please provide us with a picture of this amazing woman and a short explanation of why you have selected her as Kate Sheppard’s replacement.

Jean Batten was an famous pilot who was born in Rotorua New Zealand. She became the best Nz pilot in the 1930's! She was the first solo pilot to fly from England to New Zealand and I picked her because she was really famous.

On your blog, share your comparison between the two women and be sure to include at least three similarities and three differences between these two aviators.
