Te Mahi
Students extract key information from a text and use a flow chart with arrows to show the links between
important steps or information. This activity is suitable for both narratives and information texts such as
scientific explanations. Make sure you have previously modelled constructing and filling in a flow chart using a
similar type of text with students during shared reading. Note that this activity is a form of notetaking and
students will often need to return to the text.

He Rauemi Tautoko
 A copy of the text for each student.
 A large sheet of paper or a blank flow chart for each student (e.g. see the blackline master on page 51
of He Tuhinga 
Takenga Pū taiao).

Te Ara Tohutohu
1. Discuss with students the purpose of this activity – to extract and record important information from the
text.
2. Read the text with the students and discuss in general terms what the text was about.
3. Read the text again and ask students to identify key information.
4. Ask students to record this information in the flow chart and to use arrows to link important steps or
information.
5. Students may use pictures, words or a combination of both in the flow chart.
6. Have some students share their flow charts with the whole group.
