This term our Project Based Learning (PBL) has been about cultural stories and the big question was;
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 traditional food ,clothes and holidays .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,Maui and the big fish I have written my own legend called the legend of Fire and Water
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.
For our production I contributed by writing the script and contributing to the music.
I think the show might impact on others by sharing the legend of the Battle of the Mountains
What I learned about working with others was that everyone learns at a different pace
Have you ever been in a performance?
