Seven questions

Kia ora tatou

We'll begin the year by asking ourselves 'What is literacy'? and 'Why is it important'? These questions have nothing really to do with what year you are at in school--in fact, English teachers and university professors also frequently ask these questions!

In groups, we'll discuss the following questions:

1. What is literacy? (What do we need to learn at school?)

2. Why do we study English at school?

3. What do we want to learn in English?

4. What do we like to read?

5. What do we like to watch?

6. What kind of writing skills do we want to learn? (Why do we need them?)

7. What kinds of books, poems, stories, articles, films do we want to work with?
