He mahi rorohiko tënei.
I roto i tënei mahi ka körero täua mö te mahi hängi.
1. Kua mahi hängi anö koe, kua kite ränei koe i tëtahi hängi
e mahia ana?
Tuatahi ka mätakitaki täua i tëtahi rïpene ataata poto
e pä ana ki te mahi hängi.
Päwhiria te pütohu Hängi. [Video uses series of still images,
same as picture sheet below, with voice-over]
Körero mai ki a au mö ngä ähuatanga katoa o te mahi hängi.
Hei äwhina i a koe, änei ëtahi whakaahua mai i te rïpene ataata. E whakaahuangia ana ëtahi o ngä ähuatanga o te mahi hängi.
Hoatu te whärangi pikitia ki te äkonga.
Whakamärama mai ki a au, mai i te tïmatanga, he aha ngä ähuatanga katoa o te mahi hängi. Äta whakamärama mai i ngä ähuatanga katoa, kia möhio pai au me pëhea te mahi hängi.		 This activity uses the computer.
In this activity we’ll be talking about how to make a hängi.
1. Have you ever made a hängi or seen a hängi being made?
We’ll start by watching a short video of a hängi being made.
Click the Hängi button to start the video.

I’d like you to describe to me all of the things that have to be done to make a hängi. To help you, here are some photos from the video. They show some of the things to be done when making a hängi.
Give student picture sheet.
Now start from the beginning and tell me all the things you need to do to make a hängi. Try to describe everything to me so that
I would know exactly what to do.

I ngä rä o mua, ko te hängi te tino tikanga a te Mäori hei tunu i ä rätou kai. I ënei rä, e haere tonu ana te mahi hängi i roto i ngä käinga Mäori puta noa i te motu. Mäku e whakamärama me pëhea te mahi hängi.
1. Ko te tikanga me whakareri ngä huawhenua me ngä mïti, i te pö o mua atu, i te ata tonu ränei. Ko te wä o te kai hei tohu i te wä whakareri i te kai. Ka mahi ngätahi te hunga täne me te hunga wähine ki te whakareri i ngä kai.
2. Ka keria e ngä tane tëtahi rua.
3. Ka whakarite ngä täne i ngä poro räkau hei hanga i te ahi. Ka utaina atu ngä köhatu ki runga rawa o ngä poro räkau kia tino wera ai i te mura o te ahi me ngä pungarehu. Ka whängai tonuhia te ahi ki ëtahi wahia mö ngä häora torutoru nei kia tino wera ai ngä köhatu.
4. Ka horahia ngä kai ki roto i tëtahi paepae kupenga rino i mua o te kuhunga atu ki te hängi. Ko ngä kai he roa rawa te tunu, përä i te mïti ki raro o te paepae, ki runga, ko ngä kai he tere rawa te tunu, përä i ngä huawhenua.
5. Kia tino wera mai ngä köhatu, ka whakatakoria atu ki te rua. Ka ruiruia he wai ki runga i ngä köhatu ki te wai kia puta mai te kohu. Kätahi ka utaina atu ngä paepae kai ki runga i ngä köhatu. Ka uhia ngä kai ki ëtahi papanga mä tonu, ä, ka utaina atu ëtahi paparanga pëke huka. Ka mutu, ka taupokina ki te oneone.
6. I muri i te toru häora, ka äta huraina atu te oneone, ka äta tangohia atu ngä papanga katoa, anä, ka hïkina ake ngä paepae kai i te rua hängi. Ka whakahokia te oneone ki te rua, ä, ka waihotia ngä köhatu kia tata mai, hei mahi hängi anö ä töna wä.		 video voiceover:
Long ago Mäori people had no stoves or pots. They made a hängi or earth oven to cook their food. Today, a hängi is still used to cook food.
I’m going to describe how to make a Hängi.
The vegetables and meat are usually prepared the night before, or in the morning (depending on how early the meal will be held). Both men and women help to get the food ready.
In the morning the men dig a pit in the ground.
The men make a fire with logs of wood, and stones are placed among the wood in the hot embers. The fire is fed with wood for a few hours to heat up the stones.
The food is put in trays before it goes into the hängi. The food that takes longest to cook – usually the meat – is placed at the bottom. Food that cooks more quickly, such as vegetables, is placed at the top.
The hot stones are placed at the bottom of the pit. Water is then sprinkled over the stones to make steam. Then the trays of food are quickly put on top of the stones. The food is covered with several layers of clean cloth, then layers of sacks. Dirt is then shovelled over the sacks.
After three hours the dirt is scraped away, the cloth coverings are carefully taken off, and the trays of food are lifted out of the pit. The pit is then filled in, and the hängi stones are kept nearby so that they can be used again for another hängi.

Commentary:
Students scored highly on some of the elements in the process but many omitted quite a number of the details shown in the video. As a result, almost half of the students mentioned no more than half of the details shown.
