Summary of Te Tiriti O Waitangi

LI: To explain in fewer words what the text is about.

This week our reading groups were practising the summary skill by writing 20 keywords, then finding the 6 most picking six keywords out of the 20 written. After this, we wrote a summary paragraph using the six words we chose.  write a paragraph by using the 6 more important words.

 
We read an article about The Treaty of Waitangi.

On the 6th of February 1840, Te Tiriti O Waitangi was signed by the Maori chiefs. The treaty was in three different articles. Te Tiriti O Waitangi was made to get protection and have peace between the British and Aotearoa. People protested for equal rights.

When we picked out the 20 keywords, we used the article to find the words we thought were the most important to the topic. 

I enjoyed this activity because I understood more about the The Treaty of Waitangi.
