📚 Part 1: Understanding Audience

Remember: The audience is WHO the text is written for.

"Once upon a time, there was a little kiwi bird who couldn't fly. But he discovered he was the best digger in all of New Zealand!"

"Welcome to our school hangi! Today we will learn how Māori people cook food underground using hot stones. Please bring a plate and be ready to share kai with your whānau."

🎯 Part 2: Identifying Purpose

Remember: The purpose is WHY the text was written (to entertain, inform, or persuade).

"In Australia, children often eat Vegemite on toast for breakfast. Vegemite is a dark, salty spread made from yeast. Many Australian families have eaten Vegemite for over 90 years."

🌏 Part 3: Recognising Cultural Features

"During Diwali, Priya's family lit diyas (small oil lamps) around their house. They shared sweets with neighbours and watched fireworks light up the Auckland sky. 'Happy Diwali!' called their Kiwi neighbours from next door."

"Jake packed his lunch in a brown paper bag - a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, an apple, and some crackers. He walked to the yellow school bus and waved to his mom. 'Have a great day at school!' she called in her Southern accent."

💭 Part 4: Putting It All Together

"Kia ora tamariki! Come and join us for our school's Matariki celebration. We will share stories about the seven stars, make traditional Māori crafts, and enjoy a delicious hangi feast. Bring your whānau and learn about this special time of year when we remember our ancestors and plan for the future."
