Welcome!!

Welcome, everyone, to the special paper Reading New Zealand!

The format here is very simple. Each week there will be questions posted.

To find answers, you have several resources.

1. The primary stories, poems etc, in the Reader for each week.
2. The brief little articles I've written for each week explaining the context.
3. The Powerpoints for each week which summarize the readings.
4. Each other!!

Blogs are about discussion, about having a conversation online.

Don't worry about making mistakes, what we are interested here is your interpretation of the texts we're studying.

However, where you can, try to support you ideas through specific references to the source texts, including page numbers, so that other can follow your trail!

I'm looking forward to joining in the conversation with you, and to meeting you all in Auckland,

best
Paul
