Level 3: how different groups of people view and use Maungakiekie/One Tree Hill and Cornwall Park.

Learning outcomes:
Students will:
Describe how different people use and have used Maungakiekie/One Tree Hill and Cornwall Park
Explain how different people view Maungakiekie/One Tree Hill-Cornwall Park

Suggested Activities
Before taking the Virtual Field Trip create a circle map showing all the various people (individuals and groups) who use and have used in the past Maungakiekie/One Tree Hill-Cornwall Park in any way. (Refer to the Level 1 Virtual Field Trip and Level 2 Virtual Field Trip for ideas.)

In groups students construct a double bubble map to show past and present uses of Maungakiekie/One Tree Hill-Cornwall Park.

During the Virtual Field Trip at each stop students record their ideas on the Learning Guide about how the different people who are using or have used the volcano and the park think and feel about (view) this place.

For example:

  • Maori believe that the summit of Maungakiekie, the tihi, is a sacred place and must be highly respected.
  • Tourists think that the summit of One Tree Hill is a great place to get a view over Auckland.
  • Archaeologists think that Maungakiekie/One Tree Hill is extremely significant for archaeologists around the world and we should respect and protect it.
  • Some mountain bike riders see the terraces and pits as a fun track to ride through.

After the Virtual Field Trip students construct a class Multi Bubble Map (as many bubbles as it takes!) to show how different people think and feel about (view) Maungakiekie/One Tree Hill-Cornwall Park.

Assessment
In groups, students create a Double Bubble Map to explain how different people view Maungakiekie/One Tree Hill-Cornwall Park.
