On Thursday of week 11 we will be sharing our learning with the Kauri team and parents. You need to gather all of the learning below and have this ready to present. You can put this into a slide show, on a science board, in a scrap book, show it on your iPad and discuss it. Don't worry about how it looks, as long as you can show you have answered each of the questions on the rubric:

=Communication methods= How do we know what has happened in the past? We have started a shared slide show of ways that history is communicated and passed on. You need to pick pick 3-5 of these ways and explain them in more and explain how they have changed over time (why do we still use them or not still use them?) media type="custom" key="28427493" = = =Different perspectives on history = Perspe ctives are the same as thoughts, points of view, way of thinking, ideas and attitudes.

You need to pick some events and show the 2 or more different perspectives. You also need to explain why people have different perspectives. This is why we think there are different perspectives:
 * people think different things
 * people believe in different things and it can influenced by friends, family, culture, hertiage
 * different cultures
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">people know different information
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">some information gets miscommunicated - chinese whispers
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">everyone is different
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">everyone has a different role / job / stake

In class we looked at different examples and did some role plays in small groups. You can pick one of these examples and explain it in more detail:
