Some people think that the New Zealand flag should be changed. What do you think?

Talk to and interview at least three other people to find out what they think. Ask each person the same questions:
- Why should we have a national flag?
- Do you think the flag should change or stay the same?
- What is your reason for saying this?
Open the Hot Debate (Word, 28 KB)
- Read some of the other comments.
- Copy and paste them under the right heading on the following page.
- Add any new comments from your interviews to the chart.
Use these ideas to start debating the topic: 'That the New Zealand flag needs to be changed':
- Get together with 4-6 friends who have also thought about this topic and have done the Hot Debate template.
- Half of your group will argue that we need to change the flag and the other half will argue that we don't need to change the flag.
- Things to remember:
  - only one person speaks at a time
  - each team takes turns
  - try and use examples from countries and flags you know.

Ko tētahi whakaaro kua puta, ko te panoni i te haki o Aotearoa. He aha o whakaaro?

Me whakawhiti kōrero koe ki ētahi atu tāngata, kia tokotoru nei, ki te rapu i a rātau whakaaro mō tēnei tū āhua. Me ōrite ngā pātai e uia atu ana ki ia tangata:
- Mā te aha te haki ā-motu?
- He aha o whakaaro, me panonitia te haki, kaua rānei?
- He aha koe i kōrero pēnā ai?
Huakina te Hot Debate (Word, 28 KB)
- Pānuihia ngā kōrero a ētahi.
- Me kape, ka tāpiri ki raro i te ūpoko e tika ana i runga i te whārangi e whai ana.
- Ka tāpiri i ngā kōrero hou mai i ō uiuitanga ki tētahi mahere.
Whakamahia ēnei whakaaro hei tīmata ake i tētahi take tautohetohe: 'Kia panonitia te haki o Aotearoa':
- Me mahi koe me ētahi atu hoa kia 4–6 koutou, ā, kua mahia kē e koutou tēnei kaupapa, me te tauira tautohetohe.
- Me whakarōpū koutou, ko ētahi e whakaae ana ki te kaupapa, ko tētahi kei te whakahē i te kaupapa.
- Ngā mea hei maumahara:
  - kotahi anake te tangata ka kōrero i te wā
  - me tauutuutu te haere o ngā kōrero
  - me whakamātauhia ngā tauira mai i ngā haki o ētahi atu moutere.
