Ngā Atua i te Taiao The Māori Gods in the Environment
Using a te ao Māori framework, students think about how carbon emissions impact on the environment.
About this resource
In the final of three lessons in the Kaitiakitanga series, students will combine drama, storytelling and metaphor to think about how carbon emissions impact on our environment locally and globally. Students participate in group activities and role play, as well as build understanding of the Māori gods as elements of nature. Students reflect on their experiences to deepen their understanding of, and relationship to, the natural world.
