Section outline

  •                                                                               EXPLORE / TŪHURA


                                                                      FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:


    We are EXPLORING speeches by analysing texts that have a range of audience/s and the context of this audience/s impacts the interpretation of the text/s.

    We are EXPLORING differences by recognising how texts include or exclude people, places, or ideas in different cultural, historical, political and social contexts.


                                                                                        Success Criteria:


    • I can deliberately design texts for different audiences to share my ideas with different audiences, knowing that how I communicate my ideas can play a part in shaping society.
    • I can explain how the issue manifests in society and the impact on various groups of people.


    Knows Covered:


    KNOW: As a text creator, I can contribute to national and global conversations through my original interpretations of texts and through the texts I create.

    KNOW: Some texts ask questions that cannot be answered. Through these questions, the texts grapple with ideas and feelings that are difficult to articulate or navigate.
