The final section of this unit that looks at government in New Zealand today is an ideal opportunity to look at current issues facing the country. This can be done as a homework exercise over a week, the task being to collect at least one cartoon commenting on a recent political issue. They should also try and find out which personalities are in the cartoon and the issue being commented on.

A report back session to class can be held with cartoons being stuck in books with a write up underneath. The issues change constantly and you need to pick your moment when something of interest comes up.
