NOTES ON THE UNIT
This is a thematic unit to explore poetry, particularly New Zealand poetry, through a postcolonial lens.
The unit is designed to be accessible to a range of learner abilities with some suggestions for differentiation in the teacher notes. Teachers are encouraged to adapt this resource to reflect the ākonga in front of them.
Side Projects are designed to be out-of-class tasks, but there is the potential to weave them into class time.
Links to Te Mātaiaho are woven throughout.
