Q1: Imagine that the rest of the world really has forgotten New Zealand exists, what are the pros and cons of being in the world but not part of it? some of the pros are that we will not be noticed as much and might be given more independence. we might also have less tourists. 

Q2: Why would, for example, India or China be upset if a map was made without their country on it, but map-makers are happy to forget New Zealand? china and India are huge country's and the make huge contributions to society. for example nearly everything you own is made in china and India makes the most films each year out of any country. 

Q3: Use a computer or by freehand, draw your own map of the world and remove a country without telling anyone. What does the map look like? Is it odd or is the missing country unnoticeable? Show it to classmates, can they recognise which country is missing?

guess what is missing

Q4: 4) Research into how maps have changed and evolved over time. Look at all the changes and how map-makers have shown the world in different ways. What kinds of things do you notice? Can you spot the same countries and cities in maps from different times and places? old maps seem to be smoother and have less lumps. and the do not contain NZ or Antarctica.
