    REFLECT / WHAIWHAKAARO learning intentions

    • We are REFLECTING so students can empathise with their own ethnic group & reflect on their history of discrimination


    Success Criteria: Students will be able to describe when and how their own ethnic group faced discrimination in New Zealand and be able to recount at least three specific examples.


    Task Instructions:

    For this assignment you will focus on the big ideas studied in class during Term 2

    to raise awareness of the history of racial discrimination in Aotearoa New Zealand.

    The big ideas include Discrimination / Inclusion and / Tolerance and Cultural

    Diversity. You will select one of these four ethnic groups: Indian, Chinese, Pasifca

    or Maaori and create a written response in the form of a poster or Powerpoint

    presentation. This is a collaborative assignment and students are expected to

    work in groups of 2 to 4 (with teacher permission). Students also have the option

    of creating a script and recording their presentation which will then be shown to

    the class. Presentations will be during sessions 2 and 3 of Week 10. Recorded

    script should be 3 to 5-minutes long and must be created using a script.

    Powerpoints should be limited to no more than 12 slides and 10 minutes.

    In your Poster/Powerpoint/Recording, you must address the following three

    questions:

    1. Why did the discrimination happen - what beliefs led to your chosen group

    being treated differently?

    2. How did the New Zealand government contribute to the discrimination of

    the ethnic group (eg. laws, actions by police, etc.)?

    3. What are short- and/or long-term consequences of the discrimination?


    Your poster should:

     ●  Fill the entire A3 page with color and text. T

     ●  Titles and headings that are visible and effective

     ●  One quote minimum for each question (from the provided resources)

     ●  Three illustrations with captions that connect the resources to the ethnic

    group

     ●  Handwriting is neat and legible
