Storytelling

Purpose: create a story to share orally
Description: Oral storytelling is a Maori tradition. We have been planning our own story to tell on the Marae in Week 7.



Big Idea: The way we did our story's were we had to decide first if we wanted to do a explaining story of how something works or a life lesson story. I chose a explaining story. My story is about why the sea is salty.
Success Criteria 
-Between 1 and 2 minutes long
-Using your voice to make sounds effects
-Using your whole body to make actions
-Use your face to tell a story through facial expression
-Knowing the story, knowing the setting
-Get the picture into your listener’s head
-Stay in character - keep your composure.
-Audience participation
-Unique and original (Hook your audience)

Evaluation:
I think I did a great job of describing my story or though I might have over done it since it was a bit long. Next time I could use more actions just Maybye though...:)

Star Test Results

On the 26th of February we did a star test. Every year we do one star at the start of the year. We did the test to help us find out what our reading goal is.


Big Idea: My goal is to expand my vocabulary. The way I can achieve this goal is by using dictionarys and thesaurus's as my tools.
