Te pānui i ngā tuhinga tawhito
This standard asks you to carefully read and analyse older written texts in Māori, understand the language features and grammar rules used in them, and explain what the author is saying. You need to identify things like sentence patterns, word choices, and figurative language (like metaphors or idioms) to show you understand how the language worked in that time period.
You identify the grammar rules and language features in the old text and explain what they mean, with some supporting examples from the text.
You explain the grammar rules and language features in detail, show you understand how they work, provide strong supporting examples, and clearly explain what the author is expressing.
You evaluate how well the author uses the language features, provide carefully selected and well-explained supporting examples, and clearly respond to what the author is saying with sophisticated understanding.
