This standard asks you to analyse historical Māori texts from the 1800s and early 1900s, looking closely at how Māori words, translated European words, and writing conventions have been used and developed over time. You'll need to carefully pick apart these texts, identify the techniques and language patterns used, and explain how the ideas and language of Europeans have been adapted and expressed in Māori.
You identify writing conventions and examples of Māori and translated words from the historical texts, and you can describe what they show about language development.
You systematically examine the historical texts, identify and categorise language patterns and writing conventions, and clearly explain how they reveal the development of Māori writing practices.
You analyse the texts in detail with well-chosen examples, explore the various dimensions of how writing conventions developed, and craft original explanations showing deep understanding of how language and ideas were adapted across this historical period.
