Further learning
As a revision task, divide the students into groups of 10. Ask the students to cut out the sentences from Resource sheet 4B and match the Māori sentences with the English sentences that best describe the place that the group went to. It may be useful to review the scenario from Resource sheet 4A beforehand.
When answering the questions, students can substitute ‘kei te tika’ (true) and ‘kei te hē’ (false) for ‘āe’ and ‘kāore’.
