Project Based Learning and The Arts

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 the way you dress the traditions you have, celebrations and reunions

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 Maui And The Big Fish How Maui Slowed The Sun And Maui And The Sun I have retold my own legend called the legend of the Earth Sun And Sky 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 acting as one of the kids  and singing

I think the show might impact on others by my parents being proud of me

What I learned about working with others was  working with others can make a cool show.
Have you ever been in a show?
