Observing a modelled Te Reo lesson


Lisa Watson (facilitator of Te Reo Māori) came into my class to support myself and my students with our learning of te reo by modelling a lesson. I was able to observe her lesson about te huarere (the weather). 
We have learned how we can say what the weather is like where we are, and what the weather is like in different locations throughout New Zealand. 


"Tena koutou katoa.
Ānei ngā tohu huarere mō apōpō.
Ki Kaikohe, ka pupuhi te hau". 

I wanted the students to make the most of the lesson, so I reflected and decided to extend on to the lesson by integrating it with digital technology. Students will create a Green-screen production of a weather forecast. This will make a relevant follow-up activity for the students to help them engage in te reo in real life situations, and to allow them to easily remember and recall what they have learned. 
Standard 6: Provide opportunities and support for learners to engage with, practice and apply learning to different contexts and make connections with prior learning.
