Also important were the international events and ideas of the time that informed the Crown’s thinking and actions.

Week 5 Learning Activities

Monday

You will first watch this about the evolution of money from barter.
Then use the information on slides 3 and 4 of the "Products Slideshow" to answer the questions on slide 6.
Draw, colour and label pictures of what Maori wanted from Pakeha and what Pakeha wanted from Maori in your global studies books.

One of the products will have to match up with two from the other group of people.
On slides 9 to 11 of the "Products Slideshow" you will see a scenario each of real life cases which happened in New Zealand. Work out the main obvious problem, any underlying problems, possible solutions, possible results of the solutions, the best solution.
The barter system was very different to the way that we pay for products now.

E.g. 25 bags of potatoes would buy a musket. One ton of scraped flax would buy one or two muskets.

Write a barter system apart from the example above which the Maori and Pakeha could have had with each other.

Tuesday

Then research the specific products which the Maori made or what they did in each of the reasons in slide 3 of the "Land Slideshow." Then write all of it into your global studies books.
