Welcome to this stage of our Tribal activities, in our class we have split up into 5 different tribes to discover which is the best area in the Waimakariri District Council would be best to live in. Each tribe has the set tasks to do below to present to the rest of the class by the end of week 6. **__Flatland/Mountain/Sea/River/Forest Tribes__** For the next ten days you are to research your particular tribe and feedback information to the whole class about the benefits and pitfalls of being in your tribe. With the information you gather you can persuade your fellow classmates to make a more informed choice about which tribe they would like to be in.
 * __Arrive and Strive__**

You have many tasks to complete before your presentation so stay focused and on task.

TASK 1: Rename your tribal area and find an appropriate Maori name for your tribe. This maybe used later so team effort on this one.

TASK 2: Create a suitable tribal flag (remember less is better in terms of colour and design) and create a cloak design. You all need copies of these in your topic books and a written explanation as to what they symbolise.

TASK 3: Research all the resources available to your tribe in the area you have been given and present in such a way that other class members can clearly see the benefits or otherwise of living as this tribe.

TASK 4: Complete a SWOT analysis in regards to your tribal area.

TASK 5: Find a picture, which depicts your tribal area, and write about it. Make voice thread entries to accompany this picture.

TASK 6: Make maps of your area as you think it may look and put on it the various resources etc. Remember to include a key and draw things to scale.

Everyone needs to record information in his or her books, but each team will only need to produce one map. At the end of each session spend 5 minutes reflecting on how your group is working together and what you might change the next time to be more productive. Make a note of reflective thoughts on the worksheet provided so that Ms S can follow your progress.

GOOD LUCK everyone, and remember this information is going to help your class mates decide which would be a more favourable place to dwell.
