My Big Show

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 where you are from, food, clothes and religions. 
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 Battle of the Mountains and Maui and the Sun I have written my own legend called The legend of Water and 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.

For our production I contributed by helping to choreograph all of the dances I was in.

I think the show might impact on others by teaching them what The Battle of the Mountains.

What I learned about working with others was that everyone can do a variety of dances.
