Dycomm
For a dycomm task, give one student a map of the weather in the North Island and their partner a map of the weather in the South Island (as in resource sheet 4.9). Their task is to combine their knowledge and use Māori communicatively to fill in their respective information gaps in order to arrive at the whole weather picture for Aotearoa.
A variation would be to give each student in a group the weather in a main centre. Each group member could then share their information so they can work out the weather across the country. More ideas about how to vary a dycomm task are also available.
