You need to write a short story in te reo Māori that explores new literary techniques and ideas. Your story should have a clear main character (either male or female) and a recognisable theme, and you need to show that you understand how to use language features and writing techniques to bring your story to life for your reader.
What to do, grades and common mistakes
- ·Develop a main character (male or female hero) with clear purpose and depth for the story to revolve around
- ·Use and apply literary techniques (language devices) deliberately to create specific effects in your writing
- ·Choose composition techniques (writing arrangements) that suit your story and make it work
- ·Shape your story's main theme in a way that makes sense and connects to your characters and events
- ·Write a complete short story that shows control of te reo Māori grammar and vocabulary
You develop a main character and a recognisable theme, use some literary techniques and composition choices, and shape the story so readers can follow it.
You carefully craft the main character and deliberately use language devices and composition techniques to strengthen your story and engage your reader.
