walt: make connections across a range of texts.

Task Description:
This week we focused on another Maori legend, Rata and the Totara Tree. Within this task we got given two texts, one audio and one video explaining what this story is about and Maori problems that are happening right now! Our first task was to create a detailed story board, this story includes images and a little text beneath each image explaining whats happening in the photo. The following slide we had to break the text into word groups. Doing this helps us understand the text more and when we read our text is sounds less rushed. There's also a recording of myself reading the text when passion. As usual, we got given word groups. With this slide we found a word group within either one of our texts given, with the word group choosen we had to rewrite it in four different sentences! And of course, for our last activity we got given a create task. My create task can be found on the very last slide of this presentation! ENJOY!
