    Turn to face the sun and the shadows fall behind you.

    Kia ora. This week, we are going to continue our work on the treasures of New Zealand by looking at the resources that are spread across our wonderful country. You will see the map above breaks New Zealand down into districts.  You will all select a district and research what is valued in that district.  I will upload a spreadsheet to google classroom for you to select your district (and list your name against).  It is first in, first served, but remember - with a google sheet I can see all revisions and I would expect you use pono (integrity) and not remove or change the names already entered.

    You will be creating a slide for your district that explains the resource(s) that are valued, together with images that show the resource(s) you are describing. Everyones slide will be used to create a larger slideshow that will allow a viewer the see New Zealand resources at a glance, so it is important that your research is accurate and that your revise and edit your work carefully.


    Success Criteria: I can/have...

        • Selected a district
        • Recorded name against district
        • researched district for resources valued
        • created a slide showing the resource
        • edited and proofread carefully

    Activities:

    1. Find a district that interest you - it may have a link to your family - either historically or through family interests and holidays - or you may just be interested in it
    2. Research the district to identify what is a valued resource in this district (why did people settle in this area?)
    3. Create a slide that demonstrated your understanding of the resources of your chosen district.
