We have been exploring how events of the past, Ngā rā o mua, influence the present day. In order to do this we have been exploring cause and effect, observing and discussing events and noting the consequences. We have mapped our thinking using cause and effect charts and rippple effect diagrams and we are now, after sustained research, beginning to put this together as a report or essay.
Many of the issues are complex. What are the effects, both positive and negative of the Treaty of Waitangi? How do Māori and Pākekā views of conversation differ? Are they becoming more alike? What were the causes and effects of the Smallpox epidemic? How did the events of the government raid on Parihaka affect the people living there? How have these events influenced people today?
These are some of the pieces of writing, the introductions underway. Check out more on seesaw next week.
