Assignment 2: Lesson Plan 2
The movie is called ‘Moana Roa, Drums of the Islands’. It is a documentary movie which shows some history of the people, the settlements and the arrival of Europeans to the Cook Islands.
It also expresses the way people live and the traditions that people lived through. The documentary focused mainly on the way people lived within the Cook Islands. It also describes the role of a woman and the role of a man. In this documentary special places were shown such as, the islands and our lagoon as it says that our people had always lived on the goodness of the earth and the riches of Moana Roa.
Fishermen just walk in the sea to fish or on their canoes. Canoe racing with the sails was one of the most popular events as men try to show off or impress young ladies to like them. To also prove that they are strong. Therefore, the lagoon has its greatness in many things and is one of the most important place for the Cook Islands. It is our provider and our life.
It also displays the weaving that the women do, as nowadays not much of this is done by the women of today. I remember my grandmother and other ladies they use to sit together and weave mats, baskets and other things as shown in the movie. Today, people just mind their own business. The climbing up on a breadfruit tree is never seen today because we have long neck boys (rou) to get our food from the trees. Not even boys are seen climb a coconut tree like what we see in the movie. Life is upgraded today and people are getting more comfortable with the modern technology ways to get things.
This documentary will be very useful for this lesson because it shows a lot of important things that makes the lagoon a special place. The students will be given different parts of the movie to transcribe. They will be doing this in their allocated groups. The transcription will be done both in English and in Maori. The next step will be putting in the hamsah and the macron.
The documentary also suits the level of these year 8 students because it uses simple English which students will understand very clearly. It would be a very good experience for the students and also a learning and productive activity.
The transcription is just part of the first part of Moana Roa, where it mainly mentions how the Cook Islands is so special and important.
