Dictocomp
For a dictocomp task, read or listen to a weather forecast for New Zealand, twice, as in the reomation Ngā tohu huarere (Weather forecasts). During the first reading, just get the students to listen. During the second reading, pause between the sentences so that they can jot down some notes (in English and/or te reo Māori). Their task is then to work in small groups and, using their notes, recapture the key information in the forecast. More ideas about how to vary a dictocomp task are also available.
