    Multicultural New Zealand - Assimilating to Our Home Sweet Home in the South Pacific


    This week we will finish to enable you to have a better understanding of how multicultural New Zealand works, and the different cultural protocols we have, this assessment task will require you to research and design a presentation of your choice, on the features of your own cultural identity and New Zealand's many cultural identities, and examine the impact of these identities on each other.


    To complete this assignment you will need to use the resources used in class, especially about New Zealand identity, and the activity about ‘Who Am I’.


    Create your own poster or booklet that includes visuals.  

    GLOBAL STUDIES 

    You must answer these two questions:

    1. A description of what New Zealand culture is today.  Use the word bank below to help you. 

    2. How New Zealand culture has impacted your cultural identity and how your cultural identity has impacted New Zealand's cultural identity. Discuss both positive and negative impacts.

    AND answer one (or more) of the following questions:

    1. A definition of National Identity. 

    2. The ways in which your own cultural group interacts in New Zealand society.  For example, what foods or customs are shared with the wider community? (I think an example might be good here so they clearly understand what it is we want).  

    3. Significant cultural events that your own cultural group celebrates in New Zealand and their meaning.
