Believe in yourself

Kia ora. I hope you enjoyed the long weekend break.  Hopefully you got outside and enjoyed being a kiwi in summer!  It's now officially autumn, but I don't think anyone has told the weather.  This week we are going to start preparing for the interviews we are conducting with our family members about one of our taonga.  You will need to write enough questions to fill a 3-4 minute interview.  This means you will need to ask open-ended questions that allow your interview subject to speak from the heart. You will probably need to have a few extra questions prepared to get your subject to develop their ideas if you think there is more information you want them to add.  It is really good practice to give your interview subject the list of questions before you do the interview to allow them some time to think about what they want to say.  You should also make it clear to them the purpose of the interview itself.

Success Criteria: I can/have...

Activities:

1. Write a brief paragraph describing your chosen interview taonga and the purpose of the interview
2. prepare a series of questions to develop the ideas about your taonga
3. record your questions below the paragraph
4. have a test run of your interview with a buddy 
5. time the test interview and add more questions if necessary

Homework:
Share your paragraph and interview questions with your subject

FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

• We are FOCUSING...on Identifying the four personal Taonga that are most important to us, choosing what images to link to our Taonga and explaining out Taonga to another person
