What is the significance in the 21st Century of our Cultural stories?
First we brainstormed what culture is and came up with lots of ideas. Culture is Where you are from, the food you eat, story's and more.
Then we thought about our own culture and talked to our parents about our traditions and heritage. I wrote a post about my family and things we like to do.
In Literacy we read and discussed myths and legends from around the world then we concentrated on Maori legends. I read, how Maui slowed the sun and Maui and the giant fish I retold the legend of A wise wizard and some curious cats in my own words.
We made a performance about the story Battle of the Mountains. Some students wrote the script, some students took on the job of making all the artwork, some worked hard on organizing the music and others took on the role of bringing the story alive with dance and drama. Do you like drama?
Reflection:
For our production I contributed by helping with being an actress.
I think the show might impact on others by teaching them Maori legends.
What I learned about working with others was that teamwork is better than working alone.
