Level 4: how Maungakiekie/One Tree Hill and Cornwall Park reflect past interactions of people with the environment.

Learning Outcome:
Students will:
Explain how Maungakiekie/One Tree Hill-Cornwall Park has been used by people over time, and support their explanation with evidence.

Suggested Activities
Students work in pairs or small groups and create their own Detective Agency. Each group is to dig up evidence to show how Maungakiekie/One Tree Hill-Cornwall Park has been used by people at different times in the past. They are to present their findings to their clients - who could be small groups of their peers, whole classes, their teacher(s), their families - in an illustrated booklet or as a web page or multimedia presentation.

Before the Virtual Field Trip organise the class into Detective Agencies. Each agency must have a name, a slogan, a logo, an ID card and an office or working space.

During the Virtual Field Trip each Detective Agency must collect evidence - photographs, sketches, maps, quotes for example - that shows what people did on and around the Maungakiekie/One Tree Hill volcanic cone at different times in its history. Collecting and recording on this Virtual Field Trip could include downloading some of the photographs.

After the Virtual Field Trip each Detective Agency processes and presents their findings to their clients. Presentation strategies could include written reports - private investigator style or oral reports with the clients having the opportunity to question the investigators.

Assessment
Presentation of findings.
