Early Aotearoa, New Zealand. Māori origins, British colonists, Land issues
<p>Many visual representations of Māori and British people in the earliest times of colonisation of Aotearoa, New Zealand, with brief written summaries.</p>
<p>The original purpose of creating this resource was for overseas students of ESOL , for Waitangi Day lessons in 2016. To give an overall impression of cultural and lifestyle differences, leading to a speaking activity where students acted as if they were either Māori or British. That was a successful and enjoyable lesson, with young adult students from China, Brazil and Korea.</p>
<p>After that I used this powerpoint, with additional written slides, in 2017 in Argentina. My Upper Level English students, adult business-people, were interested in New Zealand history and culture. Again the images and briefs were prompts for speaking activities and discussion.</p>
<p>So much time and care has gone into making and improving my powerpoints, I’ve decided to start publishing them.</p>
<p>On that note I completely revised this powerpoint to be using images and works that are able to be shared, under the Creative Commons licences and by attributing the source.</p>
