Free Educational Resource – NZ in WW1
Greetings all, my name is Dylan Woodhouse and I am a director at the Passchendaele Society. I want share with you a free educational resource you may find useful when teaching New Zealand’s history in the classroom or online.
Why you should use Blood and Mud <https://bloodandmud.org/>:
It is a completely free resource developed by a New Zealand registered charity, the Passchendaele Society (CC48999)
As an educator in New Zealand, we also invite you to become a member of the Society, free of charge
Blood and Mud is a visually engaging website which provides a wide range of resources about New Zealand’s involvement in the First World War
There are very few resources on the Government’s educational resources websites, which address New Zealand’s role in the First World War in the context of the new curriculum. This is a large omission from our nation’s history
Resources are available for multiple age groups including years 7-10 (most of the website), and dedicated pages for NCEA covering achievement standards in history <https://bloodandmud.org/ncea#ncea-cover> and younger learners Ys 2-6 <https://bloodandmud.org/young-lions-resources-for-younger…>
We have established specific links for where our resources connect to the New Zealand Curriculum <https://bloodandmud.org/curriculum-links>
We offer an easy, guided and meaningful project, that satisfies the difficult to plan for local component of the new curriculum <https://bloodandmud.org/new-index>
Many aspects of the war are covered including cultural and social elements as well as some information on essential components of the war <https://bloodandmud.org/life-at-war>
We explore many facets of the history of the Great War through personal stories, most draw on the experiences of real New Zealanders from the time. We found this helped build a personal connection between students and the subject they are studying without overloading them with information <https://bloodandmud.org/new-index-3>
We have trialed our resources with students who clearly had a very positive and engaged response <https://bloodandmud.org/community-1>
Critical thinking pages aim to foster an understanding of perspective in history <https://bloodandmud.org/critical-thinking>
There is a large section on Maori which makes use of a range of media to explain their differing responses to the war <https://bloodandmud.org/critical-thinking#maoriww1>
We are happy to hear your feedback and create new resources based on any new requirements. Thank you for your time.
