project Based learning .

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  family stories and holidays and where you are from.

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 and the battle of the Mountains I retold the
legend 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 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 : doing art and the river .

I think the show might impact on others by : i think my parents now know about the Battle of the
Mountain.

What I learned about working with others was awesome.

Have you ever been in a performance?
