You're analysing old written Māori texts to understand how the writer's ideas come across and work on the reader. You need to identify the context, main ideas, language techniques (both literal and figurative), and text structure, then explain how these pieces work together to make the writing effective.

- ·Identify the context (time, place, situation) and main ideas of the text you're analysing
- ·Point out language techniques used - both concrete, straightforward language and figurative language like metaphors, personification, or comparisons
- ·Explain how the structure and organisation (introduction, paragraphs, conclusion, order of ideas) supports the writer's message
- ·Show how the text's features actually work together to make the writing convincing or meaningful to the reader
- ·Discuss why the writer's choices matter for getting their message across to their audience
