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 when people celebrate their own traditions around the world .


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, Maui and the Sun and others.


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 adding some bits to the script adding some parts to make it interesting.


I think the show might impact on others by they will remember the story of the battle of the mountain because we acted it out


What I learned about working with others was being in a group gives more ideas to use.
