    This term our context has been “Discover Tamaki Makaurau.” This assessment requires you to apply your knowledge of map directions to creative writing. You will need to write a creative story where the characters are trying to discover something. There should be at least one map in your story that the characters use, that tells the characters and readers directions to the destination/s. Also, you will need to show your ability to know how to use compass directions, coordinates and scales to indicate where to go. You will use your class sessions for this assessment in Maths and English.
