Cloze
Design a cloze task where the students fill in gaps in a piece of text that also has weather related pictures to help them. For example, you could draw the following on the board:
| Rātapu | Mane | Tūrei |
|---|---|---|
| rā 19° 13° | ua 18° 15° | kapua 20° 14° |
The cloze task could be:
| Maori vocabulary | English translation |
|---|---|
| I te Rātapu, ka whiti te ____. | On Sunday, the ____ shone. |
| I te ____, ka ____ te ua. | On____, the rain ____. |
| I te Tūrei, ____ kapua. | On Tuesday, it was ____. |
Or you could create a cloze using selected text from the transcript online and images from the reomation He kōrero ā-waea (Telephone conversation).
Alternatively, you could design a cloze task without picture clues. More information about designing a cloze task and making them more, or less, challenging is also available.
