    Ko te manu e kai ana i te miro nōnā te ngahere, ko te manu e kai ana i te mātauranga nōnā te ao.
    the forest belongs to the bird who feasts on the miro berry, the world belongs to the bird who feasts on education


    Kia ora. Welcome back to Term Three.  I hope you all had a good break and have come back ready for a busy term.  This term we are looking at the anatomy of many different things - anatomy can be described as a study of the structure or internal workings of something.  In English, we are going to be looking at the anatomy or structure of a novel.  We are going to look specifically at New Zealand novels and see if we can identify what elements (or parts of the anatomy) make it reflective of our lives in New Zealand.

    Success Criteria:

        • I can list elements in an extended text
        • I can retell the main points of the extended text
        • I can identify the main characters in the extended text
        • I can define key words about the structure of extended texts

    Activities:

      1. Library - select and issue novel
      2. Elements of extended text activity (google classroom)
      3. Read chapter 1 & 2 of selected text
      4. Settiing and characters - note making (google classroom)

    Further Learning:

    Read at least the first 3 chapters of your novel.
