Weekly outline

  • Welcome

    Kia ora Te Wai Whānau Year 10

    The first term was taken by Ms. Kate Lambert, who designed the below layout and the first term's work

    My name is Mr. Mitchell (lmitchell@mhjc.school.nz). I look forward to a GREAT year with you all. 

    For Global Studies this year you will need:

    • Device and exercise book
    • Pens, glue, ruler, colouring in pencils and highlighters


    You need to get these out when you are waiting in a line outside our classroom. 

    Once invited in, you need to put your bag in the bag cupboard.  You then need to log on to MHOL and go to our Global Studies planning page. You are to read the Learning Intentions, Success Criteria and Learning Activities planned. 

    This will be our routine and I expect not to ask you to do this but for you to manage yourselves.



  • Term 1 Week 1


    If you look at a cross-section of a river, you’ll see that the water flows differently at different depths. Usually, the flow is fastest on the surface and slows as you go deeper down. But sometimes things look smooth on the surface, while the current below is bubbling with activity. If you judge the river only by looking at the surface, you’ll be misled.

    A classroom is like the river. It has different layers of learning going on at the same time. On the surface are knowledge and information: the subjects and topics being studied. They are usually easy to see and describe, and it is straightforward to know how well students have captured them. Also, they tend to move quickly


    Learning Activity:

    1. Reflecting on your river of learning 
    - Hand out - writing sample and introducing yourself as a learner; collected at the end of the session
    a) When do you feel unsafe in the river? Times during learning, where you possibly struggle to keep your head above the water?
    b) When do you feel as if you navigate the river with confidence? Times during learning, where you make the most of the currents and rapids to have fun and move quickly?

    3. It would seem there is a relationship between people population and positive liveability factors
      - ie low population = low measurement of liveability factors
      - sizeable population = measurement of liveability factors & increasing pull factors for migration
      But is there a tipping point - where excessive population who have a negative impact on liveability?
      Before we can ask this critical thinking question - we need to EXPLORE the impact settlement(s) have on people, places & the environment

  • Term 2 Week 1

    Welcome back to Term 2! As you know, Ms. Lambert has moved on from the school to even starrier heights. I am Mr. Mitchell, your new Global teacher for the rest of the year. I will formally introduce myself in the lesson, but you are all pretty familiar with me so it won't be dramatic or anything. The main two key things to understand are: I am familiar with the assessment work you did last term, and we are capping off last term's context within Week 1, as we have a very cramped next few weeks due to the fixed date for the assessment, which I will keep you informed about.

    This week will be your last pit stop on the discussion of global inequality, where we look at the haves & have nots of certain countries, and create a strong definition of what the 'global north' and 'global south' are. Where does New Zealand fit in these countries? Are we exploiters?

    Success Criteria: 

    • I can locate different families across varied economic scales and describe their challenges unique to their income and location.
    • I can show my understanding of North & South as more than geographic locations and explain their economic connotations.

    Activities:

    1. Dollar Street - comparing families from the Top 10 and Bottom 10 countries (Supporting documents on Google Classroom)
    2. Global North & Global South - definitions and applying our knowledge

    Follow Up Tasks:
    N/A - Assessment happened in Week 1, though opening slideshow did briefly go over some work they may have forgotten over the break.


    EXPLORE / TŪHURA

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

    • We are EXPLORING Liveability Factors by investigating the push and pull factors that make a place liveable.
    • We are EXPLORING Equity and Equality by comparing resources available to the developing and developed world.
    • We are EXPLORING Equity and Equality by analysing the resources available to the developing and developed world.
  • Term 2 Week 2

    Kia ora Year 10s, this week begins our focus for the term: Whanaungatanga, exploring the ups and downs of kinship. What happens when a society cannot form healthy connections? What issues have plagued our communities? How does prejudice take shape?

    To help explore this, and prepare you for the assessment in Week 6, we are beginning our term with a broad overview of human rights. We cannot look at abuses of rights and ill treatment of minority groups in NZ without having a background understanding of what classid ideas of 'rights' are. We will delve into human rights and their origins in the atrocities of Nazi Germany and the Japanese Empire, and how human rights are widely applicable concepts that aren't necessarily backed up by law. 

    Success Criteria: I can/have...

    • I can analyse the origin of human rights as a response to the atrocities of World War II.
    • I can explain a large list of human rights as defined by the UDHR and apply it across different scenarios.

    Activities:

    1. UDHR - WWII & Inception
    2. Human Rights - List of Rights (Website analysis)

    Additional in-class slideshows available on request.

    Follow Up Tasks:
    Human Rights Scenarios - What right applies in this situation?


    EXPLORE / TŪHURA

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

    • We are EXPLORING... human rights by investigating its conception and history across the decades.
  • Term 2 Week 3

    This portion of the course is where we really begin to focus on the idea of perspectives, how different people were treated due to differing points of view and different ideas of acceptable ways of life. This is the core of your assessment, regardless of whether you are picking the NCEA option or not.

    This week, we are beginning our look at Chinese Aotearoa history - how racism was at the core of the Pakeha engagements with Chinese migrants, and why Chinese migrants came here to begin with. What was the first wave like? How were they treated? How did they survive? When the gold ran out, how did Chinese individuals adapt to changing circumstances?

    We also look at the 'Yellow Peril' and how this attitude was not unique to Aotearoa New Zealand.

    Success Criteria: 

    • I can empathise with how Chinese workers were treated & why they came to work in Aoteroa New Zealand to begin with.
    • I can define what the Poll Tax was & how it was applied to Chinese migrants.
    • I will discuss how Aotearoa New Zealand socially treated Chinese people at large,

    Activities:

    1. Chinese Migration - Part 1 (Slideshow, Google Classroom)
    2. Chinese Migration - Part 2 (Slideshow, Google Classroom)

    Follow Up Tasks:
    Political Cartoons to break down how racism was shown during the era.


    EXPLORE / TŪHURA

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

    • We are EXPLORING... human rights by investigating its conception and history across the decades.
    • We are EXPLORING... Aotearoa New Zealand's approach to race by interpreting select case studies.
    • We are EXPLORING... crime and punishment by analysing the treatment of complex individuals and groups.
    • We areEXPLORING... Chinese New Zealand history by empathising with the many stories and narratives that have been woven into this country's history.
  • Term 2 Week 4

    Kia ora class, this week finishes our look at Chinese Aotearoa and begins our focus on the Dawn Raids & Polynesian Panthers. 

    We will have one lesson where we look at the Gock family, a highly respected family of Chinese New Zealanders who navigated the Kumara crisis of the 1950s, becoming a success story of Chinese presence in NZ despite the obstacles of government-approved racism.

    The topic of the Dawn Raids may contain some uncomfortable language and discussions of violence, but they are appropriate for your year level and will be discussed & shown tastefully. This topic is one of the most powerful moments of modern Aotearoa and the thought of the Dawn Raids still lingers with many Pasifika families today. In the interest of time, rather than talking about both topics for over a week at a time, I have decided to put them both together so we can be ready for the assessment in time. We are going to look at this pivotal part of Aotearoa New Zealand's history and the people and organisations behind it, all within a rough one and a half week span.

    Success Criteria: I can/have...

    • I can describe the issues facing Chinese migrants in the decades following the Poll Tax.
    • I can recognise the changes towards Chinese people in NZ society, using the Gock family as a case study.
    • I can summarise the economic and social changes in Aotearoa NZ during the 1950s to 1960s that directly influenced NZ's immigration policies.
    • I can empathise with some of the challenges and rapidly evolving conditions facing Pacific Islanders during that time.
    • I can make connections with how the Dawn Raids may have similarities to how Chinese New Zealanders were treated back then & in previous decades.

    Activities:

    1. Stories of Success (Speed Read)
    2. Dawn Raids - Origins (Slideshow)

  • Term 2 Week 5

    Kia ora, this is our last week before the Perspectives assessment begins. Ms. Carter and I are finalising what you will be doing, and we will make sure you have adequate time in class. 10W1 may have extra time in class for work depending on future schedule changes as you guys will lose two sessions to the teacher only day and a public holiday in the next week.

    This week will be our last focus on the Dawn Raids & Polynesian Panthers, focusing more on clearly understanding the role of the Panthers as a reaction to racism, something that sprung out as a response to injustice rather than the idea that they simply 'existed'. To do this, we have three activities - a documentary on the Dawn Raids, a slideshow on the mechanics of the Dawn Raids, and a Bus Stop Activity where we look at an excerpt by Melani Anae and do delegated speed reading in five minute spans.

    Success Criteria: I can/have...

    • I will be able to state how the Dawn Raids were carried out, and the role of the police in them.
    • I will show how the Dawn Raids directly influenced the forming of the Polynesian Panthers.
    • I can say what the Polynesian Panthers were and how they put pressure on the government for their racist policies.

    Activities:

    1. Dawn Raids & the Panthers (2005) Documentary (link here)
    2. Dawn Raids - Why? (Slideshow)
    3. Bus Stop Activity - Melani Anae, Polynesian Panthers

  • Term 2 Week 6

    Kia ora, this was supposed to be the first week of your assessment. However, upon discussion, it was decided that this week would work as your pre-assessment week: essentially a catch-up week that will contain lots of hard work in order to get you prepared for the next three weeks. 

    As your assessment is about perspectives from a human rights issue, I decided that Nazi Germany and the Holocaust (a complex topic that deserves a full term of work) will be our case study for this week. We began this term looking at human rights, and we will come back to the topic that directly resulted in the creation of the United Nations.

    It is also the definitive historical event of the last century, amassing more writing than any other event known to mankind. It is extremely well-documented, which makes it extremely useful for a perspectives study. We will be making a brief look at the Nazi Party and its ideals, how the Holocaust was conducted and finally, you will be writing a 200 word answer that'll test you on your ability to understand a given perspective and communicate a response to it.

    In-class slideshows available upon request.

    Success Criteria: 

    • I can understand the broad policies of the Nazi Party, and how those policies lead to the Holocaust.
    • I can respond to a tough question of human rights that requires a definitive and explained answer.

    Activities:

    1. History of the Nazi Party (1920s-1933)
    2. Nazi Political Cartoons
    3. Victims of the Holocaust
    4. Holocaust Timeline
    5. Pre-Assessment Question
