    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 EXPLORING articles by recognising texts that have multiples purposes and knowing the context of the creator helps us understand the purpose.


                                                                                         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 text’s creator and why the text has been created (purpose).

    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: 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.

    KNOW: Texts can have multiple layers of ideas. Exploring them helps to expose deeper meanings and contradictions within the text.
