Activity name: O Tu ma aga i fanua a Sāmoa — Samoan cultural context - Student Activity Subject: Gagana Sāmoa Achievement Standard: 1.2 Communicate in Gagana Sāmoa in relation to a cultural context Credits: 5 Assessment Activity Version: 3 Code: 1.2 Activity B Achievement Criteria Achievement Achievement with Merit Achievement with Excellence • Communicate in Gagana Sāmoa in relation to a cultural context • Communicate capably in Gagana Sāmoa in relation to a cultural context • Communicate skilfully in Gagana Sāmoa in relation to a cultural context

Conditions of Assessment Submissions should consist of one piece of work. The submission may be in written, spoken, or a combination of spoken and written Gagana Sāmoa. If a combination of both is chosen, the spoken and written language content must be complementary to each other, and students should not only be reading out what has been written. A rote-learned presentation of pre-existing phrases will not be sufficient to meet the requirements of the standard. The submission may consist of evidence involving one or more people, but students will be assessed individually. Where a collaborative approach to collecting evidence is used, assessors must ensure that each student has met the requirements of the Standard individually. Assessor involvement during the assessment event is limited to providing students with feedback on the technical aspects of their work only, for example, formatting, design, or audio, visual, and image quality. Assessors must not provide feedback on student language be it written or spoken. Assessors must ensure that students are only assessed based on the quality of language. Students may not: • copy whole sentences or passages from any source without significant modification • use any digital language tools (for example, translators) other than dictionaries • have anyone else point out errors, edit, or correct their work before handing it in for assessment. Assessment Date – Term 3 week 6 NOTE: Activities/Tasks will be given to students During the Term for their practical Assessment What to do You will submit a piece of work to communicate information, ideas, and opinions using a combination of spoken and written Gagana Sāmoa. This will centre around an experience you had related to a Samoan cultural context. This can include online experiences such as watching videos. Examples of a Samoan cultural context include:

· a Samoan performing arts festival (Polyfest, Pasifika Festival, or school culture festival) · Samoan Language Week · a Samoan exhibition · learning about or playing kilikiti · learning about or participating in a Samoan artform or craft, for example, weaving fine mats, siapo (bark cloth) design. You will show how well you can:

· communicate information, ideas, and opinions to others · use a range of language to communicate information, ideas, and opinions about a Samoan cultural context · refer to events or experiences in the present, as well as the past or future · link information, ideas, and opinions cohesively · build on information, ideas, and opinions that are expressed · show logical flow or structure in your chosen format · achieve communication that is not hindered by inconsistencies. You could cover:

· when and where you had this experience · what it was about · who was there, and what people did · how you felt about the experience · what you learnt from the experience · another cultural experience you want to participate in or learn about in the future. How to present your learning You will communicate in both spoken and written Gagana Sāmoa to complete this Assessment Activity. To provide sufficient evidence to achieve this Standard, your work will include a combination of written and spoken evidence . Examples include:

· 90-105 words of written evidence and 60 seconds of spoken evidence, or · 150-200 words of written evidence and 45 seconds of spoken evidence, or · 210-280 words of written evidence and 30 seconds of spoken evidence. The spoken and written language content must be complementary to each other, for example, a piece of work about a guided house tour could include a map with written descriptions for each room. You can show your work in a wide range of possible formats. Examples include:

· a vlog or video with complementary written information · a slideshow with voiceover · a digital or paper-based scrapbook or storyboard with complementary spoken information. You will not be assessed on the format or technical quality of your piece of work. Only the quality of your language will be assessed. The language you produce as evidence must be your own work. However, while creating your piece of work, you may draw on language resources such as:

· reference materials including class notes · textbooks · dictionaries. You may:

· draft written scripts, which will not be assessed, in preparation for the spoken section of your assessment · edit your recording prior to submission. You may not:

· copy whole sentences or passages from any source without significant modification · use any digital language tools (for example, artificial intelligence (AI) or translators) · have anyone else point out linguistic errors, or correct the content of your work, before editing and handing it in for assessment. Timeframe You will have 4-6 hours to prepare and produce the language content for this assessment. Your teacher will provide details of the final submission date and time.

Getting started This Assessment Activity assesses your ability to use Gagana Sāmoa to communicate information, ideas, and opinions about a Samoan cultural context. Before you start, think about the range of language you need to complete the Assessment Activity successfully. Revise vocabulary, expressions, and sentence structures you have covered in your classes. Make sure you know how to produce language which refers to events or experiences in the present, as well as the past or future. The evidence you produce should reflect what you have learnt and your current level of ability in Gagana Sāmoa.
