Pou Maumahara Teacher Guide
Pou Maumahara provides space for enquiry and research on New Zealand service people. It is a space centred on Online Cenotaph, New Zealand’s online biographical database, recording the service and sacrifice of those who served this country during times of international conflict. The space enables and supports students to research New Zealanders’ service in war; make personal discoveries; and contribute knowledge and primary sources to the Museum’s database. This teacher guide provides a map, an overview of the gallery, how to engage with the various spaces and gives questions for students to consider when exploring deeper stories and narratives.
