Some of the old photos are informative.

Photos show history 

In every photo there is lots of history

The journal article looks at 6 different photos throughout NZ history. Re-read the paragraphs which match each photo and share 1 interesting fact for each photograph that you learned.

Find Your Own Source: Complete some research about why it is important to remember our history. Find an article or website that supports this idea. Remember, it will likely not be the first website you come across. It needs to be appropriate for your learning level and you need to read it. Use key words like “for students”, “for children”, “in New Zealand” to help narrow your search results.
