Section outline

  • FOCUS / ARONGA

    FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:


    We are FOCUSING on decisions by identifying international events and pressures which influenced the Crowns thinking.

    We are FOCUSING on challenges by describing the perspectives of iwi at the time.

    We are FOCUSING on NZ wars by discussing the interactions between the Crown and Māori.


                                                                                           Success Criteria: I can...


    • I can identify the decisions that the Crown made.
    • I can provide examples of the challenges Māori were facing from European contact.
    • I can name some interactions Māori were having with either Pākeha or the Crown.


                                                                                      Achievement Objectives:


    SOSC KNOW: 


    Communities create rules for belonging and systems to maintain order. These rules and systems are not always fair for all people.


    ANZH KNOW: 


    Te Tiriti o Waitangi | The Treaty of Waitangi: background - The signings of He Whakaputanga o te Rangatiratanga o Nu Tireni | The Declaration of Independence and Te Tiriti o Waitangi | The Treaty of Waitangi emerged from a long period of complex interactions between hapū/iwi and newcomers in which Māori were the majority. These interactions, particularly those with missionaries, helped to facilitate the treaty process. Also important were the international events and ideas of the time that informed the Crown’s thinking and actions.

    Week 7 Learning Activities

                                                                                                  Monday

    • Firstly, watch this Screencastify link which explains how to do the tasks on the "Decisions Slideshow."
    • You will first watch this   about the government wearing consequences of making their decisions.
    • Then you will draw a table in your global studies books like on slide 7 of the "Decisions Slideshow." Then write alongside each sentence of the story of Captain William Hobson on each row of the table what you would have done if you were in his position. The first example has been done for you.
    • Afterwards, you will draw a visual representation of what William’s immediate and long-term problems each looked like.
    • Finally, you will write about a time that you had to make decisions but nothing worked with the first decision so you had to make the second decision. E.g. I wanted to eat KFC but it was closed so I went to eat McDonald’s Instead. Then draw a decision tree of the choices the people were going to make on slide 14 but couldn’t so had to make the other choice. Afterwards, draw a decision tree of the time you had to make decisions but it didn’t work so you made another.


                                                                                                Tuesday


    • Firstly, watch this Screencastify link which expalins how to do all the tasks on the "Challenges Slideshow."
    • You will first watch this   about what happens when we let cultures die.
    • Look at Hone Heke’s thoughts and ideas on slide 3 of the "Challenges Slideshow." Use all of those thoughts and ideas to help you create a full-page collage about Hone Heke’s opinion on how the treaty was going. An example of a collage is shown on slide 5.
    • Then make a cartoon strip about the story of Maketu on slide 6 in your global studies book. Make sure you colour in your cartoon strip, draw and write everything to at least a year 7 standard as well.
    • Finally, using slide 6 which shows the story of Maketu and slide 3 which shows Hone Heke’s thoughts and ideas write a story which integrates Maketu and Hone Heke meeting and why they thought of doing what they did.


                                                                                                 Thursday

    • Firstly, watch this Screencastify link which explains how to do all of the tasks on the "NZ Wars Slideshow."
    • Watch the following   about why there is war in the Congo.
    • Then on slide 5 of the "NZ Wars Slideshow" you will see information about the advantages and disadvantages Maori and British had with each other in terms of their armies. Label, draw and colour pictures of what that would look like in your global studies books. Then write a conclusion of who you think had more of an advantage based on the information and why. Make sure it is done to at least a year 7 standard.
    • Afterwards, read the information about General Cameron on slide 7. Then research a real life famous person who was not seen as someone great or had failed when they first tried to succeed in what they did. You will see a table on the next slide. Draw the table in your global studies books and write what similarities and differences you see between that person and General Cameron.
    • Finally, on slide 10 you will see “Causes Of The NZ Wars.” Create a strategic plan of what you would have done to stop the NZ wars from happening if you were back in that time.
