Tupaia Reading Response Activity

Description

Tupaia Reading Response activity

During October, New Zealand is commemorating 250 years since the first onshore meetings between Māori and Europeans. An important, but lesser-known, figure in this part of New Zealand’s history is the navigator and high priest Tupaia. His story is told in an article in the August 2019 Level 3 School Journal. This is suitable for Year 5 to Year 8 students.

This Tupaia Reading Response activity includes a print-and-go worksheet set out in a Must Do, Choose Two style. Build independence and student agency through providing choice.

I’ve also provided a PDF link to the journal article within this free resource.
