What this is for
This scaffolds your kaitiaki response to the one change you starred on your Documentary Observation Sheet. Three parts, in order: what is happening, why it matters, and one action. You can write it or sketch it — there is a panel for each. Full runsheet: Lesson 1, Activity 4.
Start here · The change I starred
Copy it across from your observation sheet. One line is enough.
1 · What is happening?
Describe the change — and back it with evidence and a real figure from the documentary or the data cards. A claim without a number is not yet science.
My figure, and where it came from:
2 · Why does it matter?
Tick the kupu your change touches most, then say why that one. If more than one fits, choose the one you can argue best.
Working meanings for the four kupu are on the Kupu & Scenario Cards kaiako guide — use the meaning your class agreed in Activity 1, and the one your kaiako Māori or local marae gives you outranks anything printed.
3 · One action we could take here
Not "the world should" — something doable in our kura, street, marae or community. Name who would do it and what would change if they did.
Your Kaitiaki Response
Write or sketch your response in three parts. Use the evidence you have actually seen — if you do not have a figure, say so rather than guessing one.
Or sketch it
If drawing carries your thinking better than writing, use this panel instead — but the sketch still has to show all three parts: the change with its figure, the kupu it touches, and the action.

A few ākonga read theirs out. As you listen, note anything that comes up more than once — the class threads feed straight into the unit's Kaitiaki Action Plan in Lesson 7.
Kaiako notes
- The figure in Part 1 is the assessable bit. It shows whether ākonga can move from "climate change is bad" to a specific, sourced change. Ask "where did that number come from?" and accept the data card or the documentary as the answer.
- Part 2 is not a vocabulary test. Any of the four kupu can be argued for almost any change; what you are reading for is whether the reasoning holds, not whether they picked the "right" word. The kupu cards guide says the same and gives you readings that tend to work.
- Part 3 is where climate anxiety gets answered. Keep the action small and local enough to be real. A specific action nobody takes still beats a grand one nobody could.
- Support: ākonga who stall on Part 1 can start from the data card that surprised them instead of their starred change — the response works the same way.
- Keep these. They are the first artefact of the unit and the raw material for Lesson 7's three-tier plan.
