    FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:


    We are PLANNING on constructing a class treaty.

    We are PLANNING on designing a title page of "Whakawhanaungatonga (Working together)."


    Success Criteria: I can...


    • Design a title page of "Whakawhanaungatonga (Working together)."
    • Talk about how to construct a class treaty.
    • Write notes about treaties.


                                                                                    Achievement Objectives:

    Understand how formal and informal groups make decisions that impact on communities.


                                                                                           Monday

    • I will give the students 2 minutes to talk to each other about what they know about working together.

    • They will then share back as a class so that I can write on the whiteboard a brainstorm of what they already know about working together.

    • Then they will create a title page for "Whakawhanaungatonga (Working together)."


                                                                                           Tuesday

    • The students will first watch this   about classroom agreements.
    • Then they will discuss with other students what rules we should have in the class. Then they will choose only ONE rule out of all the rules you discussed about to have in the class and share back.
    • Afterwards in groups they will brainstorm examples of integrity / pono, compassion / awhinatanga and empowering through learning / whakamana. Then they will write on paper their own definition of what they think the three Mission Heights Junior College values are.
    • Finally, on paper, they will draw a picture of someone participating in a community whether it is through their beliefs and / or roles. They will write on their drawing about how that person is participating in the community and how that helps the community. Also, write about what would happen if that person did not do what they were doing the way people wanted them to.


                                                                                           Thursday


    • The students will write notes on:

      • What is a treaty?

      • What is in a treaty?

      • Why are they created?

      • Different types of treaties

    • Then they will research 1 Treaty between 2 parties and discuss / share back what it is about. Then they will write about if they agree / disagree.
    • Finally, they will make a treaty between them and their partner about anything they do together. Their treaty must include text, colour, images and a colourful border.
