TERM 1 WEEK 5

This week is our 'pit stop' into Te Tiriti o Waitangi - we will be focusing on the treaty in much more depth and detail later in the year, but this week is to essentially create a cursory (background) knowledge in your mind of what Te Tiriti is, and how it relates to our class focus and our term context. To do this, we will be learning the basic of Te Tiriti in class, and the fundamental issues of mistranslation, and how issues of mistranslation (accidentally or purposefully) can cause issues to social harmony.

Success Criteria: 

• I can define what Te Tiriti is, and briefly explain the concepts of sovereignty & governance that treaty discussions today are centred around.
• After being introduced to Education Perfect, I can complete the set tasks laid out for me.

Activities:

1. Video & Discussion: Te Tiriti - What is it? Video by Re: News
2. 1835 Declaration of Independence & Te Tiriti - EP Task
3. News of the Week - Waitangi Focused

Follow Up Tasks:
Stragglers must finish their Class Treaty assignment
