2.7 Connections - The Ideas Have It
This task booklet, for NCEA Achievement Standard 2.7 Analyse significant connections across texts, supported by evidence, is designed around the exploration of a connecting idea.
Students consider the over-arching theme studied in class texts during the year, then break that theme down into manageable connecting ideas. They then choose ONE of those more focussed ideas to explore across texts (at least one of which they choose themselves).
