Social Sciences Strand: People use different ways to sustain their culture and identity
Aotearoa Histories Strand: Finding a place in Aotearoa New Zealand
Unit Overview:
This unit will explore different aspects of human migration to the land that is now known as New Zealand. It will introduce the topic of migration, it’s importance to New Zealand, and the role of different forms of transportation that have shaped the lives of migrants – past and present. Ultimately, this unit is about a celebration of human social and cultural diversity where students will gain a realization that while we may look different in our physical appearance and come from many different ethnic backgrounds, we are much more alike than we are different. Key concepts to be explored include assimilation, the benefits of migration, push and pull factors, and what it means to be a Kiwi.
