My History My People (New Zealand Basics Workbook 2)
Author(s): Ruth Naumann
The New Zealand Curriculum states that it "recognises that all students should have the opportunity to undertake study in essential areas of learning to develop essential skills. Such learning will enable them to develop their potential, to continue their learning throughout life, and to participate effectively and productively in New Zealand's democratic and in a competitive world economy." A prerequisite for this is that students have a basic knowledge of their own country - the WHEN, WHAT, WHY, WHERE, WHO and HOW of New Zealand/Aotearoa. This series aims to deliver that knowledge in a way that: - is 100% user-friendly - is accessible to all learner levels - allows opportunity for further in-depth study of a particular topic - allows students freedom of choice to use their own colours on the pages - is contained in a workbook that can be kept by students as a personal record - will equip students with the backdrop of knowledge that links to specific curricula - encourages students to use the eight essential skills specified by the New Zealand Curriculum for all students across the whole curriculum throughout their years of schooling - will instill pride in being a citizen of New Zealand Paperback (Large Format)
