Term 1 context: Culture and Collective Identity
Key Concept - Identity - is the state or fact of being the same. It refers to the particular features that define individuals, groups, things, eras, places, symbols and styles. Identity can be observed, or it can be constructed, asserted and shaped by external and internal influences.
Key Concept - Culture - encompasses a range of learned and shared beliefs, values, interests, attitudes, products, ways of knowing and patterns of behaviour created by human communities. The concept of culture is dynamic and organic.
In Term 1, to help us explore the ideas of Culture and Collective Identity, we will be studying/producing short texts (such as poetry, articles, visuals etc.) to embrace who we are (individually and collectively) and empower ourselves to take on challenges and risks as New Zealanders.
Strands covered:
making meaning of ideas or information received (listening, reading, and viewing)
creating meaning for myself or others (speaking, writing, and presenting).
Aim:
To become more effective oral, written, and visual communicators by:
using knowledge and skills to engage with tasks and texts that are increasingly sophisticated and challenging, and doing this in increasing depth.
Achievement Objectives covered at L5: (Learning Intentions)
Processes and Strategies:
- is reflective about the production of own texts: monitors and self-evaluates progress, articulating learning with confidence.
Structure:
- identifies and understands the characteristics and conventions of a range of text forms and considers how they contribute to and affect text meaning.
- organises and develops ideas and information for a particular purpose or effect, using the characteristics and conventions of a range of text forms.
Ideas:
- develops and communicates increasingly comprehensive ideas, information, and understandings.
- integrates sources of information and prior knowledge purposefully and confidently to make sense of increasingly varied and complex texts.
