  2. Growing up in Aotearoa • Think, pair, share activity: • What three things are characteristic of the “kiwi childhood”? If someone from another country asked you what a New Zealand childhood was like, what would you tell them? • If you grew up in another country, just answer with what you have learnt about kiwi childhood experiences... 

  3. Afghanistan.....

  4. Kabul... The setting of ‘The Kite Runner’

  5. Lets see what we already know about Afghanistan... • Class brainstorm activity.... Add anything you know already about Afghanistan, their culture, politics, society, etc 

  6. A taste of Afghanistan culture... • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wT8LxYL9W-E (music clip to play during brainstorm) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdeE3Asn2Jc&list=PLA2B2757515161E78 (Afghani pop)

  7. Jigsaw Reading about Afghanistan • Each group will be given a different article about Afghanistan. Your task is to read the article as a group, and write down the main points. • You will then become the “expert group” on this article and will tell the class a summary of the main ideas and what you have learnt about Afghani politics and culture 

  8. Homework Task.. Select one of the following questions. Copy the question into your workbook. For homework, you are to write a response to this question (at least one paragraph). Give reasons for your opinion & any evidence/examples that you can think of. Pre-text questions for consideration: • Is it ever appropriate or necessary to remain a silent bystander when someone is being hurt (physically or emotionally)? • Is it possible to atone (make amends) for our wrongdoings? • Do we have an obligation to be loyal and truthful to our friends and family members?

  9. Language Features Exercise... • See how many examples of language features you can recognise in this song (UB40 Way you do the things you do): • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKlpcsW-VX0
