  • Kia ora 7F1,

    This week we begin to think about English Assessment 1: 'I AM FROM' poems. We'll be looking at examples and then writing our own poems. 


    FOCUS / ARONGA

    FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

    • We are FOCUSING on choosing and selecting what is important in "Kainga waewae" - The place where we stand and belong' and identifying 4 aspects for our poems.
    • We are FOCUSING on comparing exemplars to improve our writing.
    • We are FOCUSING on discussing the form and shape of an "I Am From" poem so that we can write our own.

    Success Criteria:

    • work independently with support from your group
    • answer questions in sentences in a document online in google classroom
