Teacher-only planning companion for Unit 2 Lesson 3 Source Pack: 20th Century Rights and Urban Change. Use it to keep source work anchored in interpretation, systems, and historical patterning rather than disconnected fact collection.
The strongest use of this pack is not “read all the cards”. It is helping learners notice the link between expectation, structural unfairness, and collective response across the 20th century.
Interpreting past experiences, decisions, and actions and making informed judgements using historical evidence and context.
The source pack prompts students to compare evidence, identify patterns across time, and make judgements about how Māori communities responded to changing conditions.

Systems shape how people and groups organise themselves: rights, responsibilities, power, and fairness.
The pack makes students track how service, housing, migration, and protest sit inside wider systems rather than presenting those experiences as isolated events.

Teaching this history well requires visible Māori agency, careful use of oral or whānau knowledge, and an explanation of activism as organised response.
Do not teach urban change as cultural decline only. Balance pressure, adaptation, institution building, and political awakening.
Best used with a documentary pause routine or structured jigsaw share.
