Compact planning edition · Lesson 4 of 6 · 60 minutes
Whakapapa — edit for truth, permission, and privacy
Review the developing introduction as relational knowledge: accurate wording matters, and so do permission, attribution, and the learner’s right not to disclose.
Learning intentions
- Audit each line for source, permission, and audience.
- Explain why a structurally correct sentence can still be inappropriate to share.
- Create a public-safe, private, or still-learning version by choice.
Success criteria | Paearu Angitu
A learner applies truth, source, permission, and audience checks, then keeps, verifies, makes private, or removes a line for a stated reason.
Kawa haumaru — identity and knowledge boundary
- Whakapapa knowledge has conditions of use: a true relationship can still be unsuitable for a particular audience or lack permission to share.
- Correct grammar is not consent: an unverified or restricted line stays out of the chosen copy even when its sentence pattern is accurate.
- Version choice is evidence: private working copy, chosen sharing copy, and still-learning copy each show a deliberate audience decision.
- Ask the right holder: whānau guide personal permissions, while mana whenua or the local language lead guides wording and kawa for the intended setting.
Teacher planning snapshot — before class
- Prepare a fictional draft containing deliberate source and privacy problems.
- Set up private folders or face-down work routines.
- Do not require learners to bring whakapapa information from home.
60-minute run sheet
0–12 min · Fictional draft audit
Teacher move: Model four checks for each line: Is it true? Who confirmed it? May I share it? Is this the right audience?
Learner action: Annotate the fictional draft with keep, verify, make private, or remove.
Check: Learners understand that grammar alone does not authorise disclosure.
12–25 min · Audience changes meaning
Teacher move: Compare a private whānau conversation, teacher conference, classroom activity, and formal local context.
Learner action: Match each setting to ‘seek local guidance’, ‘private’, or ‘learner may choose’.
Check: No context is described as automatically safe or required.
25–43 min · Three-version edit
Teacher move: Offer version labels: private working copy, chosen sharing copy, and still-learning copy.
Learner action: Edit only the version they choose. Unverified lines remain visibly blank or marked ‘still learning’.
Check: Every included whakapapa line has confirmation and sharing permission.
43–53 min · Language clinic
Teacher move: Conference privately on sentence order, macrons, and pronunciation; use fictional text for whole-class correction.
Learner action: Make one accuracy revision or explain why no personal revision is currently appropriate.
Check: Revision evidence does not depend on completing all conventional lines.
53–60 min · Seal the privacy decision
Teacher move: Ask learners to select an audience label for Lesson 5: private, trusted partner, teacher, or no sharing.
Learner action: Mark the label; no reason is required.
Check: The chosen audience is recorded and respected.
Evidence to notice
- Applies truth, source, permission, and audience checks.
- Removes or withholds a line when permission or verification is absent.
- Treats ‘still learning’ as an accurate response, not a deficit.
Return the drafts: the teacher may note the audit skill demonstrated but does not retain the learner’s private or restricted version.
Core resources
- Compact identity-form builder — three-version audit
- Mihimihi pathway — review its purpose and local fit
Entry support, extension, and inclusion | Access, choice, and privacy
- Offer listening, supported reading, pointing/ordering cards, writing, or teacher conferencing; speaking to a group is never required.
- Run the audit on a fictional draft first, then offer face-down editing, teacher conference, or private written reflection rather than a group read-out.
- The three-version edit exists to reduce disclosure; none of its versions becomes a photo, file, wall item, or home communication by default.
- Public correction stays on the deliberately flawed fictional draft; personal revisions are viewed only within the learner’s selected audience.
Curriculum alignment
- Learning Languages — Pāhekoheko: “Pepeha follow a specific structure made up of key elements that each serve a purpose in expressing identity, belonging, and whakapapa.”
Evidence note: The assessable act is applying truth, source, permission, and audience checks; completeness and willingness to reveal a line are irrelevant.
