How does Government affect our lives?

In small groups or as a whole class brainstorm all the different ways that Government affects our lives.

Individually, in pairs, or in small groups, students create Mind Maps or Concept Maps summarising the Effects of New Zealand's Parliamentary System of Government on People's Lives.

Display the completed maps around the classroom.

Perception Check
Students browse each other's Mind or Concept Maps and produce a personal summary - as a list or as in a graphic organiser - of the effects of government on their lives.
