 * Complete independent research on a language or literature topic and present conclusions in writing **

4 credits Internal The following resource could be used as a starter to a senior research assignment. It is based around the Paul Henry pro-whaling hoax interview which featured on TVNZ earlier this year. [|Here's a link to the interview]as it appears on YouTube. The word doc includes background to the stunt, possible group discussion points and quesions for students to answer independently. The aim is to get students thinking about checking sources of information although this resource could also be used as a starter for research on the credibility of mainstream news in NZ. I've also included an MP3 of discussion about the stunt which featured on Radio NZ's MediaWatch show - the hoax segment is about 8 minutes.
