Activity 2 - Day 4

Activity 2: After a morning of learning about beached whales in Golden Bay, you and your group are driven to a nearby town, Nelson, to watch a special movie called ‘Whale rider.’ It is a famous movie about a young girl who was born and raised in New Zealand. Watch the following movie trailers for Whale Rider: Whale Rider trailer #1 and Whale Rider Trailer #2 and then write a summary of the movie on your blog. What is it about? Be sure to also give the movie a rating out of 5 based on the trailer [1 = bad movie, 2 = okay movie, 3 = pretty good, 4 = good movie, 5 = excellent movie].

This story was about…  in the olden days the man waited for a leader to come. Which one was traveling on a whale's back. His name was Paikea. Paikea had a newborn baby about to become chief. They were waiting for a son but, instead of a boy, it was a girl. As that girl got older she wanted to become the chief but she was a female, which only boys can be chiefs. She trained to become a whale rider and chief.  

I rate this movie 4 = good movie
