                                                                       PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI

                                                                   FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:


    We are PLANNING to demonstrate that, as a text creator, I can create texts to advocate for myself, for others, and to try to change my world.

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

    We are EXPLORING by analysing multiple and sometimes competing interpretations of a text, including my own, using analytical lenses to make informed judgments about the text.


                                                                                         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 identify the different uses of language in a range of text.
        • I can examine how the themes, messages and opinions of a text can be experienced by different readers in different ways.

    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: Codes, conventions, and features of different types of texts are often subtle and able to be flexibly applied. Recognising them and the effects they have in different types of texts supports the analysis and crafting of texts.
