Wananga Reflection: #1 Treaty of Waitangi

Hi everyone! In Wananga, every Friday from now and then we have to do an activity called 'Wananga Reflection Section'. Basically, we spent half an hour reflecting on our blogs about a specific text or something that you can recall that happened in the school week.

Text title: "Waitangi - What really happened"

Type: Video/Dramatize documentary

Creator: Gavin Strawhan

Text purpose: To inform us about the treaty of Waitangi.

Date: 12 February 2021

Critical Literacy Matrix Question: 




The text was about the treaty of Waitangi. It created in 7 episodes series telling what really happened in the olden days on the treaty of Waitangi. We know it's about the treaty of Waitangi because the characters and setting of the story were related to the topic. The actors dressed in traditional Maori clothing and as well as the British people. The introduction was showing how British people traveled using a ship and arriving in the land of New Zealand and discovering the Maori tribe that already have settled there before them. Later in the story, there was some kind of misunderstanding between the treaty of the Maori people and the British people regarding the land of Aotearoa (NZ). The translation in both languages wasn't accurate. Maori people thought they're only here to 'use' the land not to actually buy it and make it their territory. 

Down here we have our little 3 comic panels that we worked on to summarised what we watched so far in the Waitangi - What really happened series.
