 Lesson sequence
Have the students listen to ‘He Reo Wairua’ by Henrietta Maxwell on the tape ‘Ngā
Pūkōrero o te Wā 5’, if available in your school. Alternatively, read the story to
students – using Resource sheet 8A. This story is about a girl and her kuia who go
diving for kōura.

Stop the story when the girl recalls the waves breaking and the sea being red.
(Where the narrator says “i tēnei mea”, for example: “E whati mai ana ngā ngaru,
whero tonu te kara, whati mai ana ka kitea e mātou whero tonu i tēnei mea…”)

Read again (or replay the tape), so that the students can listen to the story twice
more.

Ask the students to read the written version of the story on Resource sheet 8A:
Auē taukiri e! Have them suggest reasons why the water turned red and suggest a
conclusion to the story.

 Lesson sequence
Have the students listen to ‘He Reo Wairua’ by Henrietta Maxwell on the tape ‘Ngā
Pūkōrero o te Wā 5’, if available in your school. (Alternatively, read the story to
students – using Resource sheet 8A).

Stop the story when the girl recalls the waves breaking and the sea being red,
(where the narrator says “i tēnei mea”, for example: “E whati mai ana ngā ngaru,
whero tonu te kara, whati mai ana ka kitea e mātou whero tonu i tēnei mea..”)

Play the tape twice more and hand out Resource sheet 8O: Te kimi kupu. Ask the
students to fill it in from memory. Tell them to cross off the kupu as they are
identified.

Have the students read their findings to the class. Ask them for other kupu that
could be placed in the gaps without the story losing its meaning.

Develop this into a list of similar kupu identified.
