⚠️ This alignment is not usable as it stands. This unit teaches Years 9–10, which is Phase 4. The statements listed below were drawn from Phase 1 (Years 0–3) — one of them asks ākonga to “observe artwork in public spaces such as galleries, museums”. They are quoted accurately, but they describe the wrong stage of learning, so do not plan from them or cite them in a unit plan. The Phase 4 alignment for this unit has not been written yet; until it is, use the lesson bodies themselves, which teach at the right level.
Each statement below is quoted verbatim from Te Mātaiaho (the New Zealand Curriculum). Connections are audited links between this unit's resources and the national curriculum — no paraphrasing, no generated alignment. This unit has 11 audited connections in total — the 5 strongest are shown below.
