He Reo Mōteatea – Overview
Overview
These units focus on four tribal “anthems” – the haka taparahi, Rūaumoko; the waiata aroha, Ka Eke ki Wairaka; the waiata tangi, Tirotiro Kau Au; and the oriori Pōpō!
The units have been designed with a tirohanga Māori, are thematic in nature and cover multiple learning areas and levels (1–4). The activities have been chosen to encourage oral language in the classroom – both formal and informal.
Throughout the units there are links to existing resources, and other media that will be useful. Feel free to adapt the units to suit you and your students. There is a broad overview at the beginning of each unit and ideas for assessment are included throughout the units.
