Teacher-only planning note

Exemplars are strongest when students learn to name the move, the evidence, and the limitation. This companion helps turn the exemplar into a text-study tool, not a template for mimicry.

Strong fit

Examining the literary, historical, cultural, and social context of a text, and identifying explicit and implicit perspectives and portrayals of groups of people.

How this resource aligns

The study sheet treats the exemplar as a text to be examined, asking students to notice perspective, inclusion, omission, and historical framing.

Strong fit

Planning and developing ideas, using details and examples appropriately, and revising texts for audience and purpose.

How this resource aligns

The annotations and transfer tasks help students move from noticing quality in the exemplar to applying one specific writing move in their own draft.

Aotearoa lens

Using exemplars in Aotearoa histories should keep local voice, Māori agency, and historical integrity visible rather than presenting one model as the only “correct” story.

How to teach this well

Use the Parihaka exemplar as a study object, then invite learners to build their own historically grounded response using different evidence or a different event.
