Level 5: the consequences of the movement
of people for Maungakiekie/One Tree Hill and its surrounding area.
Learning Outcome:
Students will:
Describe the impact of the arrival of different groups of people
on Maungakiekie/One Tree Hill and its surrounding area.
Suggested Activities
Students work in pairs or small groups and prepare an Environmental Impact
Report on the consequences of the migration of Maori and European/Pakeha
settlers into the Auckland region, on the volcanic
cone and its surrounding area.
They are to present their reports, appropriately bound and
illustrated, complete with references, table of contents and title page to
an Environmental Committee (small groups of their classmates for
example) for discussion. The Committee may question the
report writers about their findings.
Before the Virtual Field Trip students create two annotated sketches
of Maungakiekie/One Tree Hill
to illustrate how the volcanic cone and its associated
lava field has changed over time.
First students investigate the
formation
of the volcanic cones
of the Auckland
Volcanic Field and draw an
annotated sketch of how the volcano might have
looked immediately after its birth 20 000 years ago.
(The Department of Conservation (DOC) has a superb circular poster
called Volcano Mangere Mountain with a drawing by Chris Gaskin of what a
newly erupting volcano could have looked like. Contact
DOC's
Auckland Conservancy
for copies.)
Next students draw the volcano 19 000 years after it erupted - just before
the arrival of the first Maori in Tamaki Makaurau/Auckland.
Changes that have occurred
on Rangitoto
in the 600-800 years since its eruption may provide some useful clues.
As a class create a
Visual
Timeline
of key events in the history
of Maungakiekie/One Tree Hill and Cornwall Park.
During the Virtual Field Trip students record evidence of the impact
of the arrival of both the first Maori
inhabitants, the Waiohua people, and early Pakeha settlers
on the volcano and its surrounding area. Recording
strategies include basic notemaking and
constructing appropriate
graphic
organisers.
Collecting and recording on this Virtual Field Trip could also include
downloading some of the photographs.
After the Virtual Field Trip
students prepare and present their Environmental Impact Reports.
Assessment
The Environmental Impact Reports.
