  • Kia whakaatu te whakaaro, kia whakaoti te whai mātauranga (Let your thoughts be shown, let the pursuit of knowledge be complete)!

    Rangatahi whakamihipiripiri (curious learners), today is the day to showcase your kōrero (knowledge) on the powerful poems we explored in class. Remember those evocative works: "Caged Bird" by Maya Angelou, "Poem for Remembrance" , "Burning Books", and "Mother Earth" 

    We're on a mission to unlock the deeper meanings within these taonga (treasures). Turn to your trusty english books, your puna mātauranga (source of knowledge), and revisit the poems and the notes you've gathered.

    Remember, whanaungatanga (collaboration) is key, but for this assessment, we want to see your own unique whakaaro (thinking). Use your english books as a guide, not a crutch.

    The assessment question will challenge you to delve into themes like hope (tumeia), remembrance (whakamaharatia), the significance of knowledge (te whakapai ake o te mātauranga), and caring for our planet (te Papatūānuku).

    Kia kaha (be strong) and kia whakaute (be confident) as you express your understanding! Show off your analytical skills and let your passion for these poems shine through.
