Inquiry Starter

The first step to a good inquiry is to wonder.

These sheets are to help you develop strong questioning skills.

Alternatively, follow the link below and write some wondering questions in your book about Māori culture.

Te Ara Encyclopedia is an incredible resource, we are going to use it to investigate aspects of Māori culture.

Select Te Reo Māori on the links and browse through the alphabet looking for something that piques your interest. For example you could look at traditional tattooing or warfare or the kīngitanga movement...

Spend some time browsing before you select what you will be doing your inquiry on.
