You will create an original section of text for a Te Ao Haka item, using elements that reflect the kaupapa and convey the intended effect.
Part 1
Select a kaupapa to write about. Deepen your knowledge of the kaupapa through research. This may include:
- using a local narrative — you might talk with your whānau, members of your hapū, kaumātua, or others in your community who know the story well
- using a current event — you might read articles or watch videos from multiple sources to understand different perspectives
- using a piece of fiction — you might read or watch it again, and explore reviews or responses to deepen your understanding.
You might also want to study some other texts from your favourite items of Te Ao Haka especially focusing on the lyrical components. As you listen to the lyrics, see if you can identify and describe any elements being used. Think about how they help express the kaupapa through the text.
Part 2
Now that you are familiar with your chosen kaupapa, consider:
- what you want your audience to understand and feel about your chosen kaupapa when they read or hear your text
- how you will communicate that understanding using elements of Te Ao Haka.
Write a first draft of your section of text that clearly reflects the kaupapa by combining a range of three or more elements. These elements should work together to strengthen your message and support the overall purpose of your writing. After completing your draft, make notes describing the elements you have used, their purpose, and how they work together. Explain why this combination creates a particular effect on your text and how it might influence the audience’s response.
Part 3
You might ask someone you trust like a kaiako, whānau member, kaumātua, or friend, to read your draft. They could share what stands out to them, or what you could think more about. Use their feedback to make final changes to your text. Your refined version should be written in te reo Māori.
Your final submission should also include a written explanation alongside your original text. In this submission, describe the range of elements you’ve used, what each one is for, and how they work together to reflect your kaupapa and create a strong overall effect. Explain why you chose those particular elements. Justify your selection in relation to what you hope your audience will think or feel when they read or hear your work.
If you choose to present your work aloud in class, consider preparing some notes to support your presentation. These notes can help you talk about the elements you’ve used, how they support your kaupapa and the intended effect of your piece.

How to present your learning
Create a section of original text for a Te Ao Haka item. This should be ākonga-generated and written in te reo Māori. Alongside your text, include an explanation of the elements you’ve used. You can choose to present your work either as written text or as an oral presentation in class.
If submitting written work, hand in both your final version of the original text and your explanation of the elements you used.
If presenting in class, read your original text aloud and talk about how your chosen elements support your kaupapa and the effect you’re aiming for.
Your original text should be approximately 100–150 words (or 30 seconds to 1 minute when spoken), and your explanation should be around 350 words (or 2 minutes when spoken).

Examples of elements include:
- metaphor
- composition structure
- phrasing
- imagery
- point of view.
A more extensive list of elements is available within the Subject Glossary for Te Ao Haka: https://ncea.education.govt.nz/arts/te-ao-haka?view=subject-glossary.
As you start to think about what you might write, consider what kaupapa you want to communicate, for example:
- what are some stories, issues or ideas that interest you? You might draw from local narratives, current events, or a piece of fiction you love.
- what elements would effectively communicate this kaupapa?
- how could you best use these elements together in a piece of text?
- how does the use of a range of elements create an intended effect in relation to the kaupapa?
- can you justify your points?
Kupu Māori
