- Organise the class into pairs or small groups. It is important that the
students are able to discuss both their Inquiry strategies and their
findings as they work through the process.
-
- Provide each pair with copies of the Clue Pack:
- Set the scene - these artifacts and other clues have been found in a
dusty file at the back of a cupboard. No-one is quite sure what events the
material refers to, or where these events occurred. They have to use the
clues, plus any other information they can find, to investigate, to dig up
the answers.
- Once they have cracked the case they are to prepare a
report
that explains:
- Where these events took place;
- When these events took place;
- Who was involved;
- Why these events took place;
- What happened;
- How people have responded to what happened.
- Cruise and peruse as the students work on the Inquiry.
If students get really stuck, scaffold them with clues (eg. place names,
main characters, a clip from the Voices of the Treaty: Te Reo o Te Tiriti
Mai Ra Ano from the Journeys: Nga Tapuae video series sent free to all New
Zealand secondary schools by the
Legal Services Board).
If they catch on really quickly, remind
them that they must support their answers with evidence.
- Provide access to resource material for students to consult as they progress
through the Inquiry and need supporting evidence for their report. eg. the Orakei
Kit online and the hard copy version of the Waitangi Tribunal Resource Kit
No. 4, 1993.
