  • FOCUS / ARONGA

    FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

    • We are FOCUSING on identifying and analysing aspects of our studied novels, in particular the decisions that characters make in difficult situations.
    • We are FOCUSING on our speaking and listening skills (use of voice, body language, listening and responding to others)


    Kia ora... GREAT efforts in analysing your character's actions in difficult situations, referencing your knowledge of the 'emotional' and 'logical' brain, and the 'freeze, fight, or flight' response. Well done.
