Lesson sequence
Explain to the students that they will conduct a survey asking their classmates about when and how they will come to school the next morning.
Model the correct pronunciation of questions and answers before the students proceed with the survey.
Āhea koe wehe mai ai?
When will you leave (home)?
Mā hea koe haere mai ai?
How will you travel (to school)?
Āhea koe tae mai ai?
When will you arrive?
Make enough copies of Resource sheet 3A: Survey for each student to survey 15 class/schoolmates about when and how they travel to school. When complete, have the students tabulate their answers on Resource sheet 3B: Survey.
The students should be able to relate when and how their classmates come to school:
Ā te hāwhe pāhi i te whitu karaka a ________ wehe mai ai.
Mā raro ia haere mai ai.
Ā te waru karaka ia tae mai ai.
At 7.30, _________ will leave (home).
S/he will walk here.
S/he will arrive at 8.00.
Read out this first example as a class, noting the sequence of the time, person and action in the sentences.
When the survey task is complete, ask the students to discuss the times they leave for school, how they travel and the time they arrive at school.
