The Manapouri Dam issue started the modern environmental movement in New Zealand.
Saving Manapouri is a resource package that helps students learn about this important event in Aotearoa New Zealand’s history. Student’s will learn how people opposed the Government’s plans for a large hydro-power scheme and forced changes through wide-spread social action to keep Lake Manapouri safe. It can be used as a stand-alone assessment, or as part of an existing unit about environmental issues.
With the help of an attractive custom-made website that brings the relevant information together easily for the students, they will find out about the issue, explore different viewpoints, and understand how it gave rise to the modern environmental movement in New Zealand.
The tasks can be done with pen and paper as a teacher-led activity, or completed independently online. Students would typically complete the task over several class sessions.
The online resource pack includes the resources, teacher notes, full-colour task sheet, google docs version, and a suggested marking schedule. All documents are editable and customisable for your individual school needs.
