We are EXPLORING innovation by understanding the importance of transportation on economic growth/strength.

We are EXPLORING innovation by illustrating case studies of Māori innovation.

                                                                 Success Criteria: I can...

• I can explain the adaptations iwi & hapu made to different economic systems.
• I can understand the features of different economic systems.
  • I can understand how innovation creates economic growth/strength.
  • I can illustrate case studies of Māori innovation.

KNOW: Individuals, communities, and societies experience and manage scarcity in different ways and make trade-offs with differing consequences.

• Firstly, you will watch this  about the 4 types of economies.
• Then you will explain why farmers, miners, engineers, teachers, doctors, wood, iron, gold, coal are important on slide 5 of the "Different Economic Systems Slideshow Lesson 1." Also, you will answer the question: If these workers and resources are not around locally, what else could you have instead of them?
• Afterwards, you will read the article at this link about economic globalisation. Summarise in bullet points the main items in your Global Studies books. Illustrate your bullet points as a drawing.
• Finally, you will click on the "Different Economies Slideshow." In your Global Studies book, write the date and the heading “Different Economic Systems.” In small groups, choose one type of economic system from the slideshow. Write 10 reasons for why you think it is the best one compared to the other ones.

• Afterwards, you will read the article at this link about early Māori economies. Summarise in bullet points the main items in your Global Studies books. Illustrate your bullet points as a drawing.
• Finally, you will click on this link about how Māori had traditional economies. In your Global Studies book, write the date and the heading “Māori Traditional Economies.” In small groups write 10 reasons for why you think Māori traditional economies should or should not have changed to the mixed economic system which New Zealand has now.

                                                                              Thursday

• Firstly, you will watch this   about introduction to innovation.
• Then each small group is provided with: 

  • a flax leaf

  • length of sticky tape 

  • a shell from the beach

  • some wooden sticks

  
  

  Your task is to make a product that has some value to others. You’ll have 2 minutes to present your product to the class. We’ll then vote on each product’s originality and ‘value’.
  

• Afterwards, you will rearrange the photos on slide 7 of the "Innovation Slideshow Lesson 1" to their correct side.

• After that, you will list 10 raw materials that were available to traditional Māori.

• Following that process you will list 10 innovations that Māori made from the raw materials.

• You will then be given the task to return to the previous slide. In the box provided, type either the word Warmth, Food, Shelter, or Want next to each innovation.
• Finally, you will explain why antibiotics, a fridge, telegraph and printing press are important. Also, you will answer the question: If these cannot be found locally, what else could you use to help your health, food preserving and communication?
