How has this kit changed your perspective on teaching NZ History? I can see how using the people more as characters is really engaging, and that relating it to current world events also helped students take an interest.

“To Whom It May Concern Unfortunately due the lockdowns we have had and the need for changing of our long term plans, I was unable to implement the kit with my class. I apologies for this. I reviewed the contents and was excited but as mentioned we had to change our term plans to cater for the lockdown with a modified version of what we needed to cover. I am holding onto the kit in the hope that I can implement it in the near future. I will not be able to do this during this Term or the next. Apologies for that. Regards Anna”

How has this kit changed your perspective on teaching NZ History? I am a firm believer in knowing the different perspectives of NZ History.

“WOW! What an informative and rich kit for students to learn more about perspectives and the language / dialogue that came about during and after the unit. I was pleased that students had great resources to work with and in turn, they were able to make their own justified opinions.

How did this kit help your students to discuss the idea of multiple perspectives? The kit has been awesome to help my class understand that everyone has their own version of a story.
