You'll investigate a traditional Māori craft or technique to understand how it works and what makes it special. You need to research your chosen craft (like basket weaving, flax work, or carving), explain its important features clearly, and show how Māori knowledge guides the whole process—whether you use traditional or modern materials doesn't matter as long as Māori wisdom leads the way.

- ·Explain those features in a way that shows you really understand them and can help others see why they matter
- ·Gather and organize your research, images, and notes into a portfolio (digital or paper) so your work is easy to follow
