Primary role

Teacher-only planning note

Exemplar work is strongest when students name moves and then apply one move immediately in their own draft or plan. Without transfer, the workshop stays decorative.

Strong fit

Examining historical, cultural, and social context and using evidence from texts to support conclusions about meaning, purpose, and perspective.

How this resource aligns

The workshop helps students notice how claim, evidence, and judgement are built inside a text so they can use those moves in their own writing.

How this resource aligns

The exemplar extracts model how historical judgement can remain visible without losing evidence or Māori agency.

Te Mātaiaho Social Studies `TM-SS-3-ANZH-D1`.

Teacher move

Exemplars in Aotearoa contexts should strengthen judgement and confidence, not encourage copying or flattening Māori perspectives into a formula.

How to teach this well

Ask students to borrow structure, not sentences. Make the transfer move immediate and visible.
