Warm up • Background
2 min • New Zealand is an island country in the Pacific known for its
extraordinary scenery, sheep farming and rugby team. European
colonisation, which began in the seventeenth century, undermined the
Maori culture of the islands. New Zealand was under British rule from
1840, and, despite becoming independent in the 20th century, still has
the British monarch as its head of state. The country owes its name to
Dutch cartographers, who named it Nova Zeelandia after the province
in the Netherlands. This was later anglicised by the British explorer
James Cook.
• Books closed. T writes New Zealand on the board. Elicits what students
know about that country. If students struggle to think of anything, T
could mention Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit
trilogies, which were filmed in New Zealand.
