Term 1 done! E-Tangata and research

 Ka mau te wehi Ngā Here Kahikatea students!  You have been a great pleasure to learn with this term!

Today we are starting with reading the online Māori and Pasifika magazine E-Tangata.

For year 11 students,  your next steps are to look at the exemplars for the research standard.  You are all making great progress with collecting and evaluating sources of information, and the exemplars will give you ideas on the next step which is to write your report and form your conclusions.

For year 9 & 10 students, once you have found an article that is interesting to you, I want you to think about what you have read.  How would you retell what you read to a friend in your own words?

Then I want you to complete the following task on Socrative (room = MSQUICK):

Write the title and author of one article you have read. 

In your own words, explain what the message in the article is, and why this message is important.

Term 1 week 10: blogs, hangi reports, podcasts on Polynesian Panthers & the Dawn Raids, research for year 11 students

 Kia ora koutou

Earlier this week we all got started using our new blogs.  Thanks to everyone who has posted their hangi report on their blog.  For those students having technical difficulties where blogger asked you to make a new blog instead of taking you straight to the one, I worked out the solution yesterday, and I will catch up with each of you later as soon as possible to sort your blogs.  Then we can share them with our Ngā Here Kahikatea whanau.

For year 9 & 10 students, here is your order of priorities:

• Hangi report completed
• Blog invite accepted and hangi report posted.  Use the labels: English, 2021, Hangi, Whare Manaaki
• Polynesian Panthers & the Dawn Raids work completed and podcast made in groups of 2-3 where you interview each other about what you have learned and your own thoughts on the dawn raids.  
• If you would like to learn more about the Polynesian Panthers, you are welcome to watch this documentary on your chromebook.
• What were Māori doing to protest racism at the same time (the 1970s)?  If you would like to learn about Ngā Tamatoa, you can watch this documentary on your chromebook.
• If you would prefer to read your own book when you have finished the work listed above, then you can.  

For year 11 students:

• Nikau & Tiana are watching videos on their research topic and making notes
• Rivir, I think you will be ready to find some new sources, possibly oral or in video form, for your research topic.  I just searched "Ronogmaiwahine iwi" on google, and specified videos, and some interesting material came up.
• Hayley, can you rewrite your research questions so that they are based on the questions you have about the Dawn Raids and the Polynesian Panthers?  You could email them to me so I can check them.

I am in a meeting at Grey Main, so sadly won't be with you this lesson.  Please be awesome for Matua Gordy and the relief teacher.  I will keep an eye on my emails in the meeting, and answer any questions you have asap.
