    EXPLORE / TŪHURA

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

    • We are EXPLORING the social, political, and economic context of New Zealand in the late 19th century.
    • We are EXPLORING the impact of women's suffrage on New Zealand society and subsequent changes in women's roles and rights.

    We are learning:

    1. Understanding how people respond individually and collectively to community challenges.
    2. Understanding how people define and seek human rights.
    3. Recognising and understanding connections between oral, written and visual language. 

    Stereotypes

    Stereotypes are simplified and often exaggerated beliefs or ideas about a particular group of people. These beliefs are based on assumptions rather than on individual characteristics or experiences.


    For example, a stereotype might suggest that all teenagers are lazy or that all scientists wear glasses and lab coat.


    Without any context whatsoever, Students will receive a ‘Draw A...’ card. Complete the task on the card - draw both the role and the ‘doing’.



    Understand the Draw a Scientist project and what it has uncovered about gender stereotyping.

    Look at all the cards together.

    Ask: Do you think younger or older kids would create different drawings? Why?

    Do any of the results give us messages about gender? Are girls presented the same as boys?



    Search online for portraits of invisible women.

    Write poems in the style of Alice Canton’s - She is, She might have, She probably...


    Understand that New Zealand has a proud history of women’s suffrage.

    Research the invisible story of each woman profiled on the data sentence cards.
