Session 1 · TRACE: Causes & Consequences
Not one more acre
- 10 minRead 'From the Land March to Treaty settlements'. What had happened to Māori land by 1975?
- 20 minResponse thread: stretch a string from 1835 to today. Peg on He Whakaputanga, te Tiriti, the flagstaff, Kīngitanga, Parihaka, the 1972 language petition, the 1975 Land March, the Waitangi Tribunal, kōhanga reo and one settlement. Mark each as agreement, conflict or response.
- 15 minPetitions then and now: compare the 1972 Māori language petition (more than 30,000 signatures) with the 1975 Memorial of Rights (about 60,000). How did each change what Parliament did?
- 5 minAdd your context's modern outcome to the thread.
Session 2 · TRACE: Causes & Consequences
Build the argument
- 10 minArgument frame: claim, two reasons with evidence, one counter-argument and your answer to it.
- 30 minDraft your campaign or exhibition argument. Use evidence from at least three perspectives and cite each source.
- 10 minPeer check: is every claim backed by a source? Is the strongest counter-argument answered, not the easiest one?
Getting started
Use the argument frame with one reason already modelled.
Stretch
Explain why a Treaty settlement usually includes an apology, cultural redress and financial redress, and why iwi still say settlements are not full compensation.
Checkpoint
Each draft has a clear claim, evidence from three perspectives and an answered counter-argument.
