Description

This Dawn Raid Novel Study resource is intended to be used as a comprehension, discussion, and activity guide to accompany the novel Dawn Raid by Pauline Vaeluaga Smith. This is an excellent book for upper primary and intermediate because of its themes of friendship and family, civil rights, and fairness, and its powerful characters. It also provides a context for an important part of Aotearoa New Zealand’s history.
 
The Dawn Raid Novel Study has been split up into sections for the purposes of this resource. Each section varies in size due to the number of pages and the nature of the content. Some sections call for more reflection and discussion than others.
 
For each section of the novel study, there are:
  • Reading comprehension questions,
  • Discussion questions for oral language development in the classroom, designed to be used with pairs or small groups of students.
  • Weblinks and QR codes for students to find out more about the content discussed
  • Six to eight creative activity choices (including digital and non-digital options) 
  • A Keep the Quote section.
  • The Keep the Quote’s are a collection of quotes from the novel that can be cut out and ‘kept’ in an exercise book or notebook. These quotes can then be used to explore the deeper meanings and inferences further, used to make text-to-text or text-to-self connections, illustrated creatively, or another purpose of the teacher’s choosing.

Please note: To use this resource, you will need at least one copy of the novel, Dawn Raid.

  • 

    Year 5-6: Governments have selectively supported or excluded people through processes associated with voting rights, access to education, health, and welfare provision, reflecting prevailing public attitudes of the time. Often equitable treatment has been sought by people, including Māori, Chinese, women, children, and disabled people.
    

      

    • 

      How, over time, have various New Zealand governments restricted voting rights? How have people advocated for their rights? How did the Government respond to the hardships of the Great Depression?
