6 May - 12 May

FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

We are FOCUSING on [Aotearoa’s environment] by discussing the Māori custodianship for the environment.

We are EXPLORING Matariki food by comparing how my own or another cultural has evolved or remained the same over time.  

                                                                                     Success Criteria: I can...

I can analyse how Māori acted as custodians for the environment (using their environmental concepts) and how this connects them to the environment.

I can explain how cultures change and adapt over time.

KNOW: People’s connections to places, resources, and environments can generate cooperation or lead to disputes over rights and responsibilities, with differing consequences.

SOSC KNOW: People use different ways to sustain and evolve their culture and identity.

Week 1 Learning Activities

                                                                                           Monday

• You will first watch this about the climate crisis.

• You will have 2 minutes to talk to each other about what you know about Kaitiakitanga.

• You will then share back as a class so that I can write on the whiteboard a brainstorm of what you already know about Kaitiakitanga.

• Then you will create a title page for "Kaitiakitanga."

• Firstly, you will watch this Loom video which explains how to complete all of the tasks.
• You will then watch this about the dilemma Maori are facing.
• Afterwards, on slide 9 of the "Maori & Land Slideshow" you will see a list of parts of nature names in Maori. Then on the next slide you need to drag the pictures into the boxes alongside the correct names.
• After that, you will draw, label and colour what is taonga (treasure) to you next to what the Maori thought of as treasure to them in the environment in your global studies books to AT LEAST A YEAR SEVEN STANDARD.
• Finally, you will write about what you do to help the land and environment. Then using this website write what you could do to stop harming the environment with those things at home.

                                                                                     Thursday

• Firstly, you will watch this Loom video which explains how to complete all of the tasks.
• You will then watch this about modern Matariki food.
• Afterwards, On slide 19 of the "Matariki Food Slideshow" you will see a list of Maori food names. Then on the next slide you need to drag the pictures into the boxes alongside the correct names.
• After that, you will need to draw a table in your global studies books. On the table you should draw Maori food and food you would eat if you celebrate Matariki. You will also need to draw where you would eat. Remember it is important to be open to the diversity of food of other cultures and I have high expectations of you.
  
• Finally, you will write a letter to the old Maori people telling them that if you could choose more different food to have with their hangi what would it be and why. Think of what food you eat now that is different from the old Maori people.
