Current Event Monday today! Two students presented their current events to the class and then we investigated the 2009 Federal Budget. As students were so well behaved, they also were able to watch the news on TV while they completed their current event work!
We then moved on to discuss identity - as this course asks the question "to what extent should we embrace globalization" we really need to decide how it impacts our identity. We looked at the Maori culture to see how they express their identity - they do so through tattoos that are etched into their skin! As an intro to identity, students were asked to design their identity tattoo that incorporates five symbols of their identity. Students found this to be a difficult task as they had to evaluate themselves and choose the five symbols that best illustrated who they were!
