Today we explored and discussed The Treaty of Waitangi.
We first studied and discussed the Gavin Bishop Picture book ‘The House That Jack Built’ The ideas and observations made by the class were spectacular.
Then we starting looking at the challenges surrounding the Treaty.
We brainstormed using the cycle for brainstorming below which provided an approach that got everyone thinking at a really high level and persisting when ideas where running out. It was amazing, the ideas, the debate and the full class participation. Heaps of white, red and green hat thinking
We then explored the question: How can the treaty be a document for all New Zealander?
Then posed questions using an advanced questioning approach.
This afternoon we are going to voicethread our ideas and questions.
