Section outline

  • Kia ora...8C1. This week there will be opportunities to apply the understandings you have built regarding the Treaty of Waitangi. To do this, we will recreate some real-world situations by reflecting on how the decision-making and agreement constructing learning we have explored thus far is experienced in practice. First, we will contemplate how different groups should come to an agreement fairly and how it may end up an unfair deal. Secondly, you will be empowered to take on the role of a Treaty partner/stakeholder in a land dispute; and, interactively reflect on the difficulties and advantages of dealing with each-other through the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi. These two activities will likely take a lesson each, to finish our week we will do a quality reflection on the learning we engage using our learning log doc & then you will have some time to work on your Treaty booklet.
