You are going to create a presentation on the production of apples in Aotearoa New Zealand, focusing on a life process of apple trees and a management practice that influences the production of fruit.
In your presentation you should:
- describe a mātauranga Māori concept in the context of how an apple tree life process is managed in a primary production system. This may include using an ao Māori ‘lens’ to look at the apple trees’ interrelationships with the environment and other living things
- describe a life process that is managed in apple production
- describe how the orchardist carries out a management practice that influences the life process of apple production. Include a description of how it is carried out. Supporting evidence could include technical information from sources, such as industry instruction manuals
- explain how the life process is influenced by the relevant management practice
- evaluate how the selected management practice influences the life process in apple production. For example, you could discuss a strength and a weakness of the management practice to consider how well the management practice influences the life process for improved production, such as product yield.

How to present your learning
Your work could be presented in a variety of ways such as:
- an oral presentation (three to four minutes), which may be a video or voice recording, or presented in front of the teacher or class that show how the management practice is carried out
- a written report or article (up to 750-800 words), which may also include diagrams or pictures, such as photographs of technical information that outlines instructions of a management practice
- a slideshow (eight to ten slides) that will include text, detailed annotations, or a voiceover alongside diagrams or pictures that show how the management practice is carried out
- a digital or paper poster or infographic that will include detailed annotations alongside diagrams or pictures that show how the management practice is carried out.
If your work has been developed as a group, you will need to identify your contribution to any group activity.

Timeframe
You will have approximately four hours in class to complete this Assessment Activity.
Checkpoints will occur at several stages for your teacher to check your progress on:
- selecting supporting evidence to use in your response
- developing your presentation.

Getting started
Apples grow well in Aotearoa New Zealand’s climate and are one of our main horticultural crops. They grow particularly well in the Hawke’s Bay, Central Otago and Nelson. The successful growth of fruit will require the orchardist to consider the environmental conditions the tree is growing in and the interrelationships the apple tree has with the climate, soil, and all living things of the area.
Before you get started, you could create a calendar of operations for apple production that lists management practices used at each point in the year, along with any life processes that they support. This will help you identify a management practice that would be good to focus on for this Assessment Activity.
You will need to gather information on mātauranga relevant to apple production, such as tūhononga, manaakitanga, or tiakitanga. This could include how apples are interrelated within their environment. You could sketch a diagram showing the interrelationships between aspects of the environment. For example soil, climate, water, and insects with the apple tree.
