He aha te Pūrākau?

This is lesson 2 of 20 in the unit "Exploring Māori Stories". Lesson Title: What Makes a Pūrākau? Lesson Description: Learning intentions: recognise common features and purposes of pūrākau and develop vocabulary for characters, setting, values, relationships, and consequences; success criteria: I can identify narrative features and explain how a story communicates mātauranga (knowledge) or tikanga (customs). Activities are 0–5 retrieval quiz, 5–15 teacher modelling with a responsibly sourced version of a Māui narrative, 15–28 first listening in Te Reo Māori with English support, 28–38 second listening and group feature-spotting, 38–50 a purpose-and-values grid, 50–57 oral sentence practice, and 57–60 reflection; resources include approved audio, transcript, glossary, feature grid, and map, while assessment uses annotations, listening questions, and oral responses, supported by pre-taught vocabulary, replayable audio, transcript sections, group roles, drawing options, dyslexia-friendly audio-first access, line-spaced text, short extracts, overlays, and speech-to-text; advanced learners may compare the narrative’s purpose with a non-Māori myth without ranking or equating traditions.
