Te+Awatea

Explanation writing requires tight organisation, accurate terminology (jargon), and good detail. Te Awatea has produced two very good pieces. //How to care for a dog// is fluently written: it is organised into paragraphs, uses correct technical language, and provides excellent detail. Kei te pai, Te Awatea. Awarded 1 Taonga. //How it works - Kapa Haka// is outstanding: it is set in a grid format, uses accurate terminology and provides comprehensive detail. Tino pai rawa e tama. Awarded 2 Taonga //A Stead (teacher)// A magazine study is challenging. It requires a methodical approach to complete the set tasks. The emphasis is on structure - the different components (how a magazine works), and how the power-point presentation is put together (showing examples). Te Awatea uses good visual images and the wrap-around text is easy to read. Although two minor components are missing (table of contents and list of adertisements) the main features earn a Merit and 2 Taonga. Well done! //A Stead (teacher) //
