Should we or shouldn't change the flag

LI: To make an informed choice (Based on the information)

In LS2 we had to make an informed choice on the NZ flags. Our informed choice was if we would want to change the flag or not. We had all been split up into groups to use a T-Chart on if we should change the flag or not. We had found great information about why we should or shouldn't change the flag. As a class we had gave our own information about the flags. In LS2 we had came up with a lot of information on the NZ flag.

 Why we shouldn't change the flag is because:

 It was a piece of history, it has a meaning behind it, it could disrespect the soldiers who had fought under it, it had been in our country for long time, it was representing the heritage, freedom and independence. 

Why we should change the flag is because: 

It is similar to the Australian flag, We are not part of the British Empire, It is a new generation, Many flags have the Union Jack and The colors represent New Zealand.

As a class we all had to make our own choice if we should or shouldn't change the flag.
