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 and about religion, food, clothes and dance.
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 the Fantail and Maui and the Giant Fish and have written my own legend called The sword of Fire.
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 the art by making a book for the Battle of the Mountains performance and I did the music for the production
I think the show might impact on others by making them want to know more Maori myths.
Have you ever been apart of a production?
