17 July - 23 July

EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

• We are EXPLORING how to express our point of view and perspectives through an oral presentation so that we can speak up on an issue that concerns me
• We are EXPLORING by recognising that we all have differing opinions on issues and their impact
• We are EXPLORING by investigating a topic of interest

Week 1, T3.

Kia ora and welcome to my Term 3 English Class. 

My name is Mr. Hishey and I will be your teacher for English for Term 3. 

The context for the term is Elections as NZ will be having its elections this year.

So, we will be exploring oral, written and visual language to look within the structure of the English language to make meaning. Then we can use strategies ( the ability to connect between the oral, written and visual) to create meaning to apply in context in a meaningful way.

Explore:  LI: Understand the links between oral, written and Visual language feaures.

SC: Connecting: Oral to Listening and speaking, Written to reading and writing, visual to viewing and presenting. Students need to practise making meaning  - of ideas students receive, and creating meaning - for themselves and others. As students progress, they will use their skills to engage in tasks and texts that are increasingly challenging.
