Te Mahi
Students read a narrative text and identify how the action of one of the characters leads to a reaction by
another. It is a good option to start with a story that all the students are familiar with. This activity requires
students to focus on story structure so it is important that students have been given lots of opportunity to talk
about the basic structure of narratives through shared reading and oral language activities. Initially, allow
students to work with a partner until they become familiar with this activity.
He Rauemi Tautoko
A copy of a narrative text for the teacher and one for each student.
A copy of the cause and effect chart for each student (see example of this chart below).
