Pānui is one of the focuses for the external exam, through out the year one of the greatest strategies for empowering students to problem solve difficult pieces of texts has been to work with students to help them identify common familiar threads and themes in the texts and than leave them to work out the more complex pieces on their own.
I have found students more receptive to this style of learning as they like to work it out themselves and feel more empowered building self confidence and self esteem. Part 2 has been to work on accuracy of their interpretations.
