For my “Evaluating Leaders” research I have been researching about who is a better leader out of Barack Obama and Richie McCaw.

During this unit I have had to use a range of strategies to find the information I needed on Google. This includes:

Cross checking websites to see if they are legit, Linking different websites so people can see what website I got my information off.

Author's purpose

This is my Author's Purpose sheet

Evaluating information

I have been learning about if we should change the NZ flag or not. I reckon that we should change the flag because it look's too much like the Australian Flag. Here are some reason's why I think we should change the Flag, The silver fern has been part of our history and identity for many year's. And another reason is the colour black on the new flag is represented as the national colour.

Here is a link to our Evaluating information chart.
