Main Ideas

LI: To identify the main ideas in the text.

For reading, we have been focusing on understanding the important main ideas of the text/video. The video we used for this reading task was about the traditional Maori story about how Maui slowed down the sun and brought more length to our days.

For this task, we watched the video about Maui's traditional Maori story of how he slowed the sun, and identified the main ideas between our group. From those main ideas, we discussed the more important parts of the stories and then identified the three most vital ideas from the story.

I enjoyed this task because I was able to learn more about the traditional Maori stories. Something I found interesting was that Maui was able to slow down the sun because of the pain he caused with his Grandfather's jawbone.
