HookED SOLO Analogy Map
HookED SOLO Analogy Map
The HookED SOLO Analogy Map provides an effective imagining place for the creation (and unpacking) of whakatauki (Maori proverbs).
For example -
Te anga karaka, te anga koura, kei kitea te Marae
The shells of the karaka berry, and the shells of the crayfish, should not be seen from the Marae
Can be interpreted as meaning that evidence of a lack of personal responsibility and poor organisation reflects poor leadership and a vulnerability.
If you start by describing the attributes of poor or vulnerable leadership - select the attribute that most interests you - in this case dis-organisation or a lack of responsibility. Then take this attribute to the second map and describe things that indicate dis-organisation - choose the most interesting attribute - in this case a failure to tidy away - leaving crayfish shells and karaka berry shells littering the marae. Form the whakatauki from these ideas.
Kaua e mate wheke mate ururoa
Don't die like a octopus, die like a hammerhead shark
Can be interpreted as meaning that when the going gets tough you should never give up - but rather persevere - struggle to the end in the same way that a hammerhead shark behaves when captured.
In this whakatauki we are looking for an analogy for perseverance - if we start by describing perseverance the attribute that captures our attention might be "to keep struggling". Taking this attribute to the second map allows us to think widely about activities, ideas or things that continue to struggle even when the cause seems lost. The hammerhead shark is renowned for never giving up. The octopus not. The whakatauki is formed from these ideas.
Students can use the HookED Analogy Map to create contemporary whakatauki, proverbs and poetic analogies reflecting their experiences and feelings.
