Description
Explore Maori Myths and Legends and the mythical world of Māori Gods and Supernatural Beings with our engaging Māori Myths Magnified character analysis activities. Your students will enjoy analysing both the well known and lesser known characters from Māori legends (Pūrākau). The completed character posters also make a beautiful display. But make no mistake – this is not simply an art activity. Reading, writing, critical thinking and art are combined into this creative and comprehensive activity. We’ve even provided this as both a paper-based and digital resource.
Integrate the Maori culture into your reading program with our texts and information cards. We have provided differentiated texts and two text styles to ensure that this is an activity for all students in your class to complete – inclusion (woo hoo!).
