    FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:


    We are EXPLORING Kaitiaki: Guardians of culture by recognising our own identity, culture/s and values.

    We are EXPLORING Kaitiaki: Guardians of culture by comparing how my own or another culture has evolved or remained the same over time.

                                                                                                Success Criteria:

    I have written a script for a presentation that explores the topic “Kaitiakitanga: sustaining culture.”

    KNOW: I can describe how people use different ways to sustain and evolve their culture and identity.

    In our learning, we are exploring how we can recognise, connect and observe Te Ao Māori and other cultures ensuring that we sustain and protect cultures. You will write a speech/presentation. 

    Note: This is ONE piece of work that will gain TWO grades (one for English, one for Global Studies).

    Your speech/ presentation content will be graded by your Global Studies teacher.

    Your English teacher will be assessing your presentation techniques.


    Option A: individual speech - you must choose this option if you want to be considered for the MHJC speech competition. (2.30-3.30mins: 400-450 words)

    Option B: presentation with a partner. (2.30-3.30mins each: 400-450 words). Slides must not show your script.  


    You will have 6 hours of class time to plan and write your speech or presentation (in line with school wide policy) (Global Studies and English lessons in week 7). You should not work on this task at home.


    Script documents must be uploaded to MHO by 3pm Friday week 7 on both English and Global Studies pages.
