Y10 English Assessment - Response to written text essay (short stories)
Context: Whakamana - stand up, stand out
Context Overview
In Term 2, we are exploring the context of ‘whakamana - stand up and stand out/’ through the lens of short stories set in New Zealand and written by New Zealand kaituhi (writers). The stories we have studied in class reveal how characters show whakamana in challenging situations. They aim to empower us to show courage, determination and action in real life situations.
