Maori Pronouns Practice Worksheet
📚 Part 1: Identify the pronoun (Multiple choice)
WALT: We Are Learning To identify whether a word is 1st, 2nd or 3rd person and recognise inclusive/exclusive 'we'.
Success criteria: I can choose the correct pronoun type and explain if 'we' includes the listener.
Differentiation: Provide word bank for learners who need support; read sentences aloud for those who prefer listening.
Extension: Explain why a pronoun is inclusive or exclusive in one sentence.
Dyslexia-friendly reading: Read each sentence aloud once, use a ruler or finger to track the line, and highlight the pronoun before answering.
✏️ Part 2: Short answers & replace the noun
WALT: We Are Learning To replace names and nouns with correct Māori pronouns and use possessive pronouns.
Success criteria: I can write the correct pronoun for a person or group and use taku/tō correctly.
Differentiation: Provide a short list of pronouns (au, koe, ia, māua, mātou, tātou, rāua) for those who need it; advanced learners should use full sentences.
Extension: Change your answers into full Māori sentences and add one adjective.
Dyslexia-friendly reading: Short sentences, larger spacing and one idea per line. Read aloud before writing.
Hemi e kai ana. → __________
_____ e hoki ana ki te kāinga. (We — including the person you are speaking to)
🧩 Part 3: Match & create
WALT: We Are Learning To match Māori pronouns to their English meanings and use a chosen pronoun in a sentence.
Success criteria: I can match pronouns to meanings and write a clear sentence using an inclusive or exclusive 'we'.
Differentiation: Pair students for the matching task; give sentence starters for those who need support (e.g. "Tātou ka...").
Extension: Write two sentences — one using an inclusive 'we' and one using an exclusive 'we' — and explain the difference.
Dyslexia-friendly reading: Work in pairs, use one coloured ruler to match lines, and speak the pairs aloud before writing.
