Duality maps

Sarah is showing the lovely duality map she has made.

Her duality map is about Tonga and New Zealand and she has told us interesting information about food, clothes, housing, games and life in general.

Much of the information Sarah knew herself, but she spoke to her parents and looked for pictures on the internet and in travel brochures.

Why is it valuable to make a duality map?

- It enables self pride in one's own culture.

- It gives everyone an awareness of other cultures and personal experiences.

- Communication links were established between children of similar nationalities, students of different nationalities and families and school.

Ahmad felt very proud of his duality map and was happy to share his knowledge of Malaysia and his life in Malaysia with his friends and teachers.

His map looks fantastic doesn't it?

Ainni shared a lot of information about Malaysia too. She had great fun gathering the information for her duality map and she talked to her parents about lots of things. She noticed some similarities and some differences between New Zealand and Malaysia. Her completed map looks wonderful doesn't it?

Grace spent a long time discussing the making of her duality map with her mother and sisters. She made some notes on paper and brought them to school and then decided how to construct her map. She used pictures from the internet, magazines and travel brochures. Grace include a lot of details about her country and culture on her duality map.

She is particularly fond of some of the foods from her culture and enjoys it when they are cooked in New Zealand.

Grace's finished map looks fantastic and it is full of interesting information.
