Task Description:

This week's during our distance learning we focused on a moon myth. You may of or may of not heard of this Maori myth, but it is well known throughout New Zealand. Rona and the moon.

Many, many people enjoy retelling this myth that there are so many copies of it! Our main tasks were to create a storyboard. A storyboard is created on google drawing presenting pictures and texts to explain the story. Usually we use paper to create a story board, but as were doing distance learning we gave a online story board a go. As usual we also broke our text into word groups.

The worthy word chart helps us to understand new words for further writing pieces. And of course, we got given a create task! As usual we got given two options.
