Yes or No Evidence

 L.I: To consider both perspectives.

Today we were answering what happened if it is true or not  we wrote the evidence if it is true and the evidence if it is false. We picked a Maori story and added the evidence towards two POV’s (Point of View): True and False. Than we added our personal opinion on the story. 

Maui and The Sun - Main Ideas

 LI: To identify the main ideas in a text.

This week we are having a Te Reo Maori approach to reading. For our main ideas DLO we noted the key ideas in the text. Similar to summarising we noted the important ideas, the 4 very important ideas, then the 3 vital ideas. This DLO helped us get an understanding of the base ideas and the vital ideas of the text itself.

Title: The Te reo Maori Venn Diagram

 L.I: Find as many similarities and differences as you can between the video and the text of ‘The Beginning’.

This week we have been focusing on the start of the story ‘ Maui and the Sun’. We have written about the video version and the written version of ‘ Maui And The Sun. In the middle we have written what things do the Video and Written version have in common. I enjoyed this because we learnt the about the similarities of the Video version and the Written version.

The Te reo Maori Summary

 L.I: To explain in fewer words tha the text is about.

This week we are learning about Maori version of start of time. In this summary we talked about Rangitoto (The Sky) and Papatuanuku (The Earth). The beginning is about how the sky and the earth sheltered their children from the outside. For the summary we chose 20 important words related to the text. Then we chose 6 most important, after we used those words to create the summary in the DLO.

Te reo maori

L.I: To identify the different countries of South America and Britan.

Today LS2 had Te reo maori and we were tryna figure out where the different parts of cities go in the countries. Peretania is Britan in maori and South Amerika is South America in maori aswell. The words that are highlighted in yellow are the places we had to try put on the map to see where its located. I enjoyed this task because I learnt new words in maori and I got to learn how to pronounce some of the maori words too.

Te Reo Maori word of the day

L.I: Creating a DLO about a Te reo maori word.

In LS2, today I was working on a Te Reo Maori DLO. This DLO is when you pick a maori word then write what in means in english. After that, I wrote facts about my te reo maori word. The word I chose was 'Whanganui' and in english it means 'Big Harbour'. As you can see in my DLO there are a bunch of facts about how long it takes to get there, what is whanganui, why is it called whanganui and many more facts. I really enjoyed making this DLO because I can show and tell people about different te reo maori words.
