“Students listen, speak, and present with purpose for different audiences and contexts.”
How this handout aligns
The retelling scaffold and oral-language prompts make audience, message, repetition, and delivery choices visible for students preparing spoken work.
Useful for speeches, oral retellings, spoken-word work, or preparation for debate and kōrero tasks.
“Students interpret how texts carry values, perspectives, history, and identity.”
How this handout aligns
The comparison between oral and written forms supports students to see how culture, memory, and worldview are carried through storytelling conventions.
Strong when kaiako want oral language to be treated as a serious text tradition rather than a warm-up activity.
“Students explore how people, communities, and histories are remembered, communicated, and sustained.”
How this handout aligns
This handout helps connect oral storytelling to whakapapa, local history, and community knowledge, making it useful across English and Social Sciences contexts.
Especially useful when local histories, oral accounts, or pūrākau are part of the wider learning sequence.
