    FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:


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

    We are FOCUSING on differences by comparing the perspectives of the Crown and iwi.

    We are FOCUSING on Waitangi Day by comparing the perspectives of the Crown and iwi.


                                                                                           Success Criteria: I can...


    • I can recognise key Māori leaders.
    • Compare and contrast the varying wants and perspectives of the crown with those of iwi and identify similarities and differences.


                                                                                      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 6 Learning Activities

                                                                                                  Monday

    • This Screencastify link will show you the explanation of how to do all of the activities on the "Kingitanga Slideshow."
    • You will first watch this  about Black Lives Matter.
    • Then on slide 7 of the "Kingitanga Slideshow" you will see a table of the reasons for the cause of the event from slide 3. In your global studies books write the description of the events in the table and draw a picture which represents what happens in the column next to it. The first example is done for you.
    • Imagine that you have been given the job of promoting Te Whero Whero of Waikato as king to the Maori people. Using slide 8 write a speech to persuade people to choose him as king.
    • Research the meanings behind the symbols of the marae and kotuku in relation to Kingitanga and write it in your global studies books. Then choose two different symbols which are important to events that happened in your life and write why they are important. Create inspirational drawings of them in your global studies books like the image (right). Make sure you use colour and do to year 7 standard.


                                                                                                  Tuesday


    • This Screencastify link will show you the explanation of how to do the activities on the "Differences Slideshow."
    • Watch the following about what if USA had honoured their treaties?
    • Write the table of the differences in how Maori and Pakeha viewed the treaty but order those reasons from the most important to the least important. Then write about which people you think had more important reasons for viewing the treaty.
    • Using slides 5 and 6 as examples write about when there has been mix-ups in understanding with you and other people. You can use the treaty you made near the beginning of the year too.


                                                                                                     Friday


    • This Screencastify link will show you the explanation of how to do the activities on the "Waitangi Day Slideshow."
    • Watch the following about how the Treaty of Waitangi unfolded across New Zealand.
    • Use slides 3 to 14 of the "Waitangi Day Slideshow" to help you create a visual timeline of all the major significant events which have happened for the Treaty of Waitangi. There is one on slide 16 you can see as an example.
    • Then create an emblem in your global studies books which shows the important historical reasons for why Waitangi Day should be celebrated more for the Maori or the Pakeha.
    • Finally, create a treaty of your own choice that is translated into English and another language. You can use Google Translate to help you complete this task. Then draw the table on slide 20 of the "Waitangi Day Slideshow" in your global studies books and outline the similarities and differences between the two translations.
