Lesson+3+Creation+Myths


 * Retell the story:** of the Maori creation story (without website)

**Re-read text**: mentor and student to listen (following along) to the Maori creation story [] Reflect on aspects remembered and left out of retell **Reading Response Task:** Go back to the ‘World’ page and choose two different countries (red dots). Listen to their creation myths (following along) and then read a little about their cultures. You might like to listen to more than two and then choose your two favourite (//you cannot choose the Maoris//). Create a document to save your notes. Make comparisons between the two stories, i.e. how are they //similar// and how are they //different//. How you present it is up to you, e.g. Venn diagram, PowerPoint, Word

**Contribute to group blog** (on Discussion page): //Why do you think different countries have different stories for ‘creation’?//

**Optional extension activity**: Use ‘Inspiration’ to create a Relationship Web for the characters in one of the creation story. Remember to explain their relationship to each other.

Each week you will be asked to comment on the texts and task you have completed. Please be as honest as you can!
