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 about the things like what country you are from, your food, family, and celebrations.
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 Maui and the Sun, Battle of the Mountains, Maui and the giant fish.
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 organising the music and others took on the role of bringing the story alive with dance and drama.
Reflection:
For our production I contributed by helping with the music.
I think people would enjoy the show because we have funny actors.
What I learned about working with others was that sometimes its hard.
