The label will need to:

  • Identify materials used and the process followed to make the artifact
  • State what it is used for
  • Describe who was most likely to make and use the artifact.
  • Explain how the artifact is used
  • Comment of what the artifact tells you about pre European times
   
ARTIFACT LABELLING
Definition
Artifacts are the material remains of past human life and activities. These include the very earliest stone tools to the man-made objects that are buried or thrown away. Everything made by human beings—from simple tools to complex machines, from the earliest houses and temples and tombs to palaces, cathedrals, and pyramids.
Task 3


·         Students to read http://www.teara.govt.nz/en/history-of-immigration/page-3  and to study and read about photos with view to create their own – 



The New Zealand Company tried to attract settlers from Britain by publishing romanticised images of New Zealand. A major source of this propaganda was Edward Jerningham Wakefield’s book, Adventure in New Zealand, published in London in 1845. It contained many coloured lithographs. This one, from a drawing by William Mein Smith, the first New Zealand Company surveyor general, shows the company settlement of Petre (Whanganui) in September 1841.



This image in Adventure in New Zealand was drawn by the New Zealand Company draughtsman, Charles Heaphy. It shows land at the Nelson settlement near present-day Motueka, looking north-east towards the Marlborough Sounds. The cattle in the foreground were added to show intending emigrants that this was good ‘level’ farming country.




Wellington was the third New Zealand Company settlement. This lithograph from a drawing by Charles Heaphy, looking from the Hutt hills towards Matiu (Somes Island), suggested to prospective settlers that Wellington had plenty of flat land around its harbour. This time the added bucolic touches included a farm worker and some pigs in the foreground.
You task is to create a brochure in inquiry groups in order to attract people to New Zealand in 2015.

Success Criteria:
·         Be specific – Find a location in NZ to try and attract the potential visitor. Be specific to that location.
·         Write about at least 3 potential attractions that people can find in the area. Eg. Auckland – Jump off the Sky Tower (NZ’s only Base Jump), visit Auckland Museum and explore the historic treasures within and climb the active volcano overlooking the city – Rangitoto.
·         Use expressive language (action verbs, adjectives) and include interesting facts such as Rangitoto literally means ‘Blood Sky’ in Maori. Remember you are trying to attract the visitor to this location.

·         Remember you are looking for people to settle in the area.
