Lesson structure (10 minutes)

1. 0–2 min · Kupu whakaohooho. Teacher opens with the opening question slide and asks, “He aha te rerekētanga o te reo kōrero noa me te reo rangatira?” Students think silently, then share one idea with a partner. Accept responses such as whakaute, mana, tika and pai te reo.

2. 2–4 min · Pānui tauira. Teacher displays the model text slide and reads the text aloud once, modelling pronunciation and phrasing. Students follow with their eyes and listen for words that sound formal or respectful.

Tuhinga poto: E ngā rangatira, tēnā koutou katoa. Nau mai ki tō tātou hui. Me whai whakaaro tātou ki ō tātou whānau, ki tō tātou kura, me tō tātou whenua. Kia kaha tātou ki te kōrero mā te whakaute me te manaaki.

Teacher briefly clarifies e ngā rangatira, nau mai, me whai whakaaro, whakaute and manaaki, without translating every word. Students identify which words suggest respect.

3. 4–6 min · Kimihia te tikanga. Teacher distributes the short pānui and vocabulary worksheet to 10 pairs and directs students to complete the first two questions together: “He aha te kaupapa matua?” and “Tuhia kia rua ngā kupu e whakaatu ana i te whakaute.” Students reread the text, underline evidence and agree on answers.

4. 6–8 min · Kupu i te horopaki. Teacher asks pairs to use surrounding words to infer the meaning of whai whakaaro, whakaute or manaaki, then displays the context-clue prompt slide. Students choose one word, explain their inference to their partner using the frame: “Ki ōku whakaaro, ko ___ te tikanga, nā te mea kei te tuhinga te kupu ___.”

5. 8–10 min · Taki me te puta. Teacher reveals the plenary slide and invites three pairs to share one answer. Students complete the final worksheet prompt: “Tuhia tētahi rerenga kōrero e whakamahi ana i te kupu whakaute rānei manaaki,” then hold up their response for a quick check before leaving.

• Support readers by pairing them strategically, rereading the text chorally and highlighting the sentence containing the answer.
• Allow students to explain their inferred meaning orally before writing; accept labelled evidence or a brief bilingual explanation where needed.
• Challenge confident readers to explain how the greeting and references to whānau, kura and whenua strengthen the mana of the message.
