During reading time, we have been learning about Myths and Legends to help us write our own narrative stories. The success criteria I was focusing on was using a interesting hook to keep the reader entertained till the end.
Here is an example...
Long ago there lived a girl named Tina. Every morning Tina and her friends would go fishing and hunting. But one particular morning they noticed that the sun was setting faster than usual, making it hard for them to gather fish and meat for the village.
So one day Tina and her friends made a plan to hunt down the sun and slow it down.
So that evening we jumped into our waka and paddled down stream and walk over the rocky mountains and through the wild forest, until we reached the sun's house, where the sun was sleeping.
Tina and her friends pulled out there magical net and threw it over the sun and said a special karakia, two slow the sun down.
The next morning, when the sun stayed high in the sky and Tina and her friend were able to fish and hunt all day and not worry about the sun setting early.
This is one of the school Journal book that I am reading . The name is The buttons.....
