                                                                          FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:


    We are EXPLORING Matauranga Maori by interpreting how texts in Aotearoa New Zealand provide a lens on our unique cultural heritage.

    We are FOCUSING on symbolism by explaining the effects of conventions in a written/visual text.

     

                                                                                         Success Criteria:


    • I can compose a range of text using language features effectively while sustaining a writing style which is appropriate for my audience.
    • I can identify themes, messages and opinions within the text/s which reflect our unique cultural heritage.


    Knows Covered:

    KNOW: Text creators manipulate the codes, conventions, and features of texts and can break conventions for effect. They have their own preferences and styles, which influences their choices.

    KNOW: Aotearoa New Zealand has unique literary traditions shaped by tangata whenua, tangata Tiriti, and those who have come from around Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa. These traditions help me understand and contribute to the uniqueness of this place.
