He iti kai mā te kotahi e kai, kia rangona ai te reka

If something is too small for division, do not try to divide it

Kia ora. I hope you are all taking the time to read your novels.  The aim in that you have completed your reading by the end of week five so that we can continue to unpack the elements of the text to support your response to text writing. This week we are going to complete our initial themativ statements, and continue making notes about character (this will be ongoing as chatacters change throughout the novels).  We will also be identifying key events and conflicts in the novel.
