Tongan Language Week – maths

This week for math’s, my group and I structured word problems that has a connection with the Tongan Language Week. There are 7 slides and 10 questions in total to answer, and we make sure the questions are Tongan Language Week related. The following questions followed includes subtracting, addition, division and multiplications. Something I found interesting about this task is how we decided to make up the questions using our knowledge.

RISE UP: The Story of the Dawn Raids and the Polynesian Panthers

LI: To evaluate (form an opinion) the text and respond to the provocation.

We read the text RISE Up. The Story of the Dawn Raids and the Polynesian Panthers and created a DLO that explains both sides of perspectives and historical events. Something I found interesting about this text was how we mentioned about past, present and future.

 

Once a Panther

LI: To identify the key historical context and events related to the Polynesian Panthers and the Dawn Raids as depicted in the graphic novel.

This week our group read the text Once a Panther and asked to create a comic strip that represents a sce ne thats related  prejudice and justice. For this comic strip, my group suggested an idea that goes to be an older man and another member from the Polynesian Panthers having a conversation between justice and prejudice. Sharing our thinking is very important, and that is how this comic strip ended up this way, alongside the chatting bubbles and the people. Something I found interesting about this challenge was how we could make our own graphic novels, that was fun to do.
