our Project Based Learning

This term our Project Based Learning 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 like traditions what they eat there religions there celebrations the holidays they celebrate like Easter Christmas and the stories they tell . Culture is what we do in the countries that’s why we have different Cultural stories 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 Battle of the mountains I have written my own legend I retold the legend of Maui and the sun 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.

 

Reflection: 

For our production I contributed by making a big book for the narrator 

I think the show might impact on others by how much hard work we put in to it 

What I learned about working with others was that every idea counts
