In Part 1, students interpret how the visual techniques used in the presentation of a Māori legend support the meaning of the written text. In Part 2, students are assessed on their ability to communicate and explain their use of visual techniques. Annotated student work samples using Part 2 are provided.

Students read a short extract from a legend to answer retrieval and inferential questions.

Students retell a myth or legend to another student. Suggestions for the speech content and scoring guides are included.
