Poetic Writing

Kiaora anō whānau!
Well, we have been really busy in our class lately, our blogging team hasn't had the chance to come on and give an update!
We are working hard on our Poetic writing and are really enjoying the opportunities to write poems, and be reflective in our writing.
With our Mahi Whānui, we have been looking at " inequality in resource sharing causes conflict"- and the impact this has had on indigenous people.
We thought about Australia and talked about " The Lost/ Stolen Generation."
We then had research questions like "What does the Lost/ stolen generation mean?"
"What was the rabbit proof fence?" and "Name 2 articles from the United Nations Declaration of Human rights for Indigenous people."
We then used our lines of inquiry to make our own questions, that we will now be focusing on and making them clearer.
We also wrote poems through the idea of what it may have been like. We will post these on here soon!
We will be viewing relevant parts of "The Rabbit Proof Fence" too, to help us.
