Summary of Te Tiriti o Waitangi

LI: To explain in fewer words what the text is about.

The Treaty of Waitangi was made to bring peace to New Zealand. Our task was to read a text about how the Treaty of Waitangi began. We used used respical reading to help us understand the text more. When we completed reading the text, we were using  summarizing template to help us create a  short paragraph telling us about the story. This task was really fun because we got to learn more about our past and what happened when the britain came to New Zealand. The fact I found interesting was that the Pakeha used to hunt down seals and whales.
