Activity two:
Write a summary about the movie "Whale rider" and rate it out of 1 to 5 (1 = bad movie, 2 = okey movie, 3 = pretty good movie, 4 = good movie, 5 excellent movie).
Summary:
There was a girl named Paikea. When she was little her koro named Paka didn't want her to be a girl, instead he wanted her too be a boy. Paikea had a twin brother but he past away after he came out. Paka wanted her dead instead of him. After that Paikea's mum died. Everyone gathered around and started saying different mihi's. Paikea's father Porourangi moved away to another country. Paikea was left with her grandparents. As she got older and older, she starts doing kapa haka. When Paka made his own school, Paikea wanted to join but she wasn't allowed because it was only meant for boys. Paka was showing the boys some skills that they need to learn like how to use the taiaha. A few weeks went past and her father Porourangi came to visit. He wanted to ask her if she wanted to stay with him but she didn't want to. This is a story of a girl that sees a whale on the sand and she tries to get the whale back into the sea but can't. Then all of her family members work together and get it back into the sea. At the end they get all ride on the waka!

I would rate this movie a 5 (which it excellent) because it's great to see my culture in there and I love the ending because that's when all the family goes in the waka and they paddle to places.

THANKS!
Kia ora Cerenity,
ReplyDeleteThanks for providing us with such a detailed account of the 'Whale Rider' trailer. I am so happy to see that you enjoyed the movie and that you gave it a rating of 5/5. That is high praise!
I, too, love the movie and think that it depicts aspects of the Maori culture really beautifully. My son, Aronui, is half-Maori/half-Canadian and he loves watching movies or reading stories that speak to his cultural background. He is going to join a kapa haka group soon, actually, because he really wants to learn more waiata.
Have you ever been a member of a kapa haka group? Aronui is a bit nervous about joining the group but I think that he'll really like it once he gets started.
Keep up the great work with your blogging, Cerenity. Nicky and I are both really enjoying your posts. We hope that you will continue to blog for the rest of the year as well :)
Cheers,
Rachel
