Kiwi Hero
Stand-Alone Project
Social Studies or Inquiry Learning
Curriculum Level: 3 to 5
Investigating | Social Decision-Making
There are hundreds of amazing and important New Zealanders who are worthy of national recognition. In this project students find out about some of these amazing Kiwis. Influential people who have done important work, created something special or represented New Zealand on the international stage. With the aim of finding a deserving candidate to feature on a proposed $500 banknote.
Students are guided to investigate three influential Kiwis and create a presentation outlining their accomplishments, weighing up the significance of their achievements and making a fully justified decision about which Kiwi Hero should go on a proposed $500.
Kiwi Hero is self-contained and perfect for busy teachers who like using well-designed and reliable resources. The teacher support material is useful for any teacher, but particularly for those new to the profession. As stand-alone projects, they can be used any time of year and provide students an opportunity for independent inquiry.
The online resource pack includes an introductory Powerpoint presentation, teacher notes, full-colour task sheet, google docs version, and a suggested marking schedule. All documents are editable and customisable for your individual school needs.
