    FOCUS / ARONGA

    FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

    • We are FOCUSING on watching an audio-visual text (film)
    • We are FOCUSING on analysing and explaining a text through a one-pager activity
    • We are FOCUSING on responding to a text by showing critical thinking and deeper understanding.


    PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI

    PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI learning intentions:

    We are PLANNING and constructing a one-pager visual so that we can demonstrate critical thinking and deeper understanding required at Level 5-6 of the curriculum.



    Please seek parent/caregiver's permission before viewing the film on Netflix (if you have an account) or using the link I have shared on Google Classroom.


    Note to parents/ caregivers: Please share this with your parent/ caregiver

    ‘The Boy who Harnessed the Wind’ is a film we are using as a text study. It is based on a true story and ties in with our Term context: Challenges & Choices. It is rated 13+. Based on my professional judgement, the content is not inappropriate for this age group but should you prefer another text for your child, please let me know.
