Teacher-only planning companion for Exploring Global Indigenous Solidarity Networks. Use it to anchor the inquiry in sharp questions, credible evidence, and disciplined comparison.
Students need an argument, not a scrapbook. Keep asking what they are trying to prove or test with the comparison, and keep mātauranga Māori terms like tikanga, whanaungatanga, and mana visible as analytical tools rather than decoration.
People participate individually and collectively in response to community challenges.
The inquiry helps students investigate how communities respond to challenge and how solidarity networks shape that response.
Te Mātaiaho Social Studies `TM-SS-3-D1`.
Systems shape how people and groups organise themselves: rights, responsibilities, power, and fairness.
The comparison framework helps students trace recurring systems of power while still respecting local histories and differences.
Te Mātaiaho Social Studies `TM-SS-3-U1`.
Good comparative inquiry includes both shared patterns and meaningful differences.
Require one synthesis claim and one caution statement so students cannot flatten every movement into the same story.
Best used as a bridge into seminar speaking, essays, or action planning.
