Te Wiki - The Week - Summary

As part of Reading we read the next article leading to the treaty of Waitangi. The text we read was about the one week before the treaty of Waitangi was signed. It was an interesting book. While reading we had to note all the words we are unsure of or interested in. After reading the text we were to make a DLO summarizing the whole article. I worked with Fraidoon and Mataio. When we are summarizing a text we use a special method which is to write the 20 most important words, then the 6 most important words and write a short summary. This all links back to the words we were to write down while reading the text. 

Summary - The Pathway

As part of our reading Mrs Anderson's group were reading about the treating of Waitangi which is a agreement signed by the Maori and British people. I learnt that British people tryed to swap land with the Maori people for things like a tin of nails. Isn't that horrible. It was really sad that the British people weren't respecting the moari law and customs. For reading we read a book called The Pathway which is a book leading to the Treating of Waitangi. After that we made a short summary of the text. First we had to list down all the 20 important words, then the 6 most important words and use the 6 words to sum up a short summary about the text.
