Research process

This research project involved both our students and their extended families. The students who were part of this project wrote a story about a cultural object from their home country that is now used in New Zealand. It could be used in the same way, or it could be used differently in the New Zealand environment.

When they had recorded their story, and it had been edited, some students brought the object to school to be photographed. Others borrowed a camera from school, or used their own camera, and photographed the items they had written about in their local environment.
