Wining’s Wairau by Jenny Bornholdt

Read each of the words (or phrases) below. For each word, paste a tick (✔) in ONE of the columns to show your prior knowledge of the word. Do this BEFORE reading.

Word	Never seen this word before	Seen it but don’t know what it means	Sort of know what it means	Can explain what it means
settler				✔
woodburner		✔

billowing	✔

Any vocabulary that has a tick in the first 3 columns gets put into word jail on the page below.

SACAWAC THE WORDS OUT OF JAIL - You will need a mini whiteboard or refill for this.

For each word :

say it out loud while looking at it.
cover it and say it.
write it onto a whiteboard.
then check if you spelt it correctly.

Repeat this process 3 times, then the 4th time in front of a buddy.

If you manage to get a tick (✔) by the buddy column, you have freed your word.
