  • EXPLORE / TŪHURA

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

    • We are EXPLORING the different ways in which Māori changed the landscape.
    • We are EXPLORING the reasons for these changes in landscape- pre-colonisation and post- colonisation.

    I am an active learner as I know what I need to learn, where I am with that learning and what my next learning steps are:

    • Emerging:
      • I know what I am learning and why
      • I can use evidence to identify where I am with my learning
      • I can use evidence to identify my next learning steps
    • Growing:
      • I can describe what I am learning and why, using our shared language for learning; GREAT Ako
      • I can use evidence to describe where I am with my learning
      • I can use evidence to plan and take my next learning steps


    Learning Intentions:

    • Students will be able to identify the different ways in which Māori changed the landscape, such as through clearing forests, building terraces, and draining swamps.
    • Students will be able to explain the reasons for these changes.
    • Students will be able to evaluate the impact of these changes on the environment.

    Success Criteria:

    • Students can identify at least three different ways in which Māori changed the landscape.
    • Students can explain the reasons for at least two of the changes they have identified.
    • Students can evaluate the impact of at least one of the changes they have identified on the environment.

    Learning activities:

    Mini-research templates will be shared on the GC.
    We will be using this to develop our understanding of the changes in time due to human impact on Aotearoa.
