1
Historical thinking — Whakaaro aronui
At the start of this unit, I thought "perspective" meant ______. Now I understand it means ______.
Complete the sentence above, then explain in your own words:
What is the most important thing you now understand about why people held different perspectives on your chosen event?
2
The irreconcilable clash — Te raruraru kore mutunga
In your own event, the perspectives were irreconcilable because the groups involved had fundamentally different understandings of:
Circle the one that fits your event best — then explain why below:
Justice / Tika Sovereignty / Rangatiratanga Freedom / Whakamana Law / Ture Identity / Tuakiri Progress / Anamata
Could the groups in your event have ever agreed? Why or why not? (1–2 sentences)
3
Personal connection — Hononga whaiaro
Which group's perspective in your event do you find most difficult to understand from the inside? Why?
Is there a parallel between any perspective in your event and a current issue in Aotearoa? (You don't have to answer if you're unsure — but if you see a connection, note it.)
4
Skills reflection — Āheitanga
The skill I am most confident about after this unit:
Circle one:
Finding evidence Writing a PEE paragraph Explaining WHY Historical empathy Conclusion writing
The skill I want to keep working on:
One thing I would tell a student starting this unit next year:

Kōrero āpōpō — Next steps for your history learning:

→
The perspectives skill builds into AS 91231 (evidence reliability) and AS 91233 (cause and consequence)
→
Historical empathy — understanding a view from the inside — is a skill used in any argument, essay, or professional context
→
Your event is not finished — history is always being interpreted. Keep watching for new sources and new voices
"Nō reira, tūturu whakamaua kia tīna. Hui e, tāiki e!"
So let it be fixed, let it be secured. Let it be done!

📋 Teacher Planning Snapshot

Ngā Whāinga Ako — Learning Intentions

A seven-minute unit reflection asking what students now understand by “perspective” and which value their event's groups were actually disagreeing about.

Ngā Paearu Angitū — Success Criteria

Differentiation & Inclusion

Scaffold support: This is not marked and should not be treated as if it were — honest answers are the whole point. Extend by asking whether the groups in their event could ever have agreed, and what would have had to change.

ELL / ESOL: Sentence-completion format throughout, with the value options supplied as a list to circle rather than as free recall.

Inclusion: Seven minutes, low stakes, no wrong answers — this is the one task in the unit designed to be finished by everyone. Allow it to be completed orally with a kaiako if writing is the barrier.

Mātauranga Māori: The value list offers tika, rangatiratanga, whakamana and tuakiri beside the English terms. A student who picks the te reo term has made an analytical choice about which frame fits their event — ask them to defend it as one, not treat it as a translation.

Prior knowledge: Use at the end of Lesson 10, after submission.
