Differentiation

Prepare a list of suitable and reliable online resources that your ākonga can browse for links to relevant information on their chosen bird.

Extension

Challenge ākonga to examine the URL that they choose to link and see if they can identify basic parts of it. For example, ‘en.’ refers to the English database of the homepage ‘wikipedia’ which has a ‘.org’ domain rather than a ‘.com’ or ‘.co.nz’.
