     Term 1 context: Culture and Collective Identity

    Key Concept - Identity - is the state or fact of being the same. It refers to the particular features that define individuals, groups, things, eras, places, symbols and styles. Identity can be observed, or it can be constructed, asserted and shaped by external and internal influences.


    Key Concept - Culture  - encompasses a range of learned and shared beliefs, values, interests, attitudes, products, ways of knowing and patterns of behaviour created by human communities. The concept of culture is dynamic and organic.


    In Term 1, to help us explore the ideas of Culture and Collective Identity, we will be studying/producing short  texts (such as poetry, articles, visuals etc.) to embrace who we are (individually and collectively) and empower ourselves to take on challenges and risks as New Zealanders.

    • making meaning of ideas or information received (listening, reading, and viewing)

    • creating meaning for myself or others (speaking, writing, and presenting).

    Aim:

    • To become more effective oral, written, and visual communicators by:
