For reading this week we did things a little… differently. Instead of having assigned groups and subgroups that each work on a different goal, this time we only have one group, but no subgroups, and we all get to CHOOSE what goals to work on. There were five different goals to choose from, some were more simpler than others, and they each had a different task as well. I picked one that I thought was reasonably simple. It was to do with the History of The Haka. The goal for this reading task is “identify several ideas, discuss the author’s stance or purpose, and understand relationships in the text.” If you don’t know already, the Haka is a traditional Maori dance that most kiwis know. The dance normally resembles dominance or showing off your awesome dancing skills! But enough of that, below is a google drawing with different questions that I used to quiz a friend on the Haka. So what I would do is first understand the history of the Haka, then you could quiz another friend of your own! See how much Maori knowledge you or your friends know! There are seven questions based on the Haka, and I would love it if you were to comment on this exact post, telling me your score! You could also say things that you liked about the questions, and maybe something you didn’t like! Anyway, here is the google drawing that I’ve composed.
Question: Do you know anything ELSE about The Haka? Please tell me and if I get enough info, I might make another quiz!
