How Pearl Button Was Kidnapped.
In English, we read a story about the kidnapped of a little girl. The little girl is European. She was kidnapped by two Maori women who were walking and they saw her playing in her house of boxes. So our teacher told us to read through the story and tell us the main point about it. He told us to find out what kind of kidnapping was it because the Maori women didn't do anything to her they were just showing her around the beach and collecting shells.
English Teachers Question -
What would the European think about the kidnapping?
Were the Maori women harming her?
Is it to form a relationship between pakeha and Maori?
Critical Literacy QuestionWhy are we/you reading this text? -The story could relate to reality because if people read the story they would learn some main points where it tells us not to go with any strangers unless we know them or if they look harmless.
Hi Chara
ReplyDeleteThank you for telling us about the story you read in English class :)
Something that would make your blogpost better or to improve next time is to answer your questions you have written down, to make it seem you have read and understand the story.
other than that good work!
