Students will work in groups to organize an event celebrating responsibility for a Nelson icon such as the lighthouse or Tahuna Beach. They must answer 4 questions focusing on their selected icon: 1) Is the icon protected and healthy now and in the future? 2) List places in Nelson where many people are involved in decision making. 3) What event can the group organize to make a difference for their icon? 4) Are any changes needed to the icon, and if so, what changes and where? The goal is for students to take responsibility and make a positive impact through group action.
Organising an event to celebrate and protect a Nelson Icon
1. Your homework is to complete each of these 4 questions, focusing on your Icon. E.g. the lighthouse, Boulder Bank, Tahuna Beach etc.
Rich Task:
In groups you will be
responsible for
contributing and
helping to organise an
event to celebrate
showing responsibility
for a Nelson Icon.
4. Are changes needed
and if so how, where?.....
Our call to action - what
can we do to make a
change?
1. Is your selected Icon
protected and healthy - and
what will it look like in the
future?
2. We are all able to be
involved in the decision
making process. Make a
list of the places unique to
Nelson that many people
are involved in?
3. Success is not the work of
one but the work of many.
What can you organise to
help make a difference for
your Nelson Icon?
