Reading task from week 1

Hi everyone, the next few blogs that I am going to be posting are from the lock down. The first one I am showing you is my reading task and the goal was Make connections between texts, using more sophisticated texts. Here is my DLO.

For reading this week I read:

Text 1: Weaving tukutuku Place Screenshot Here

Text 2: Place Screenshot Here

Aim to complete as many of these 3 boxes as you can, the minimum we expect is 1 completed :) 

What is written below is the minimum please feel free to write more.

My thinking:

Make connections between and across at least two texts and general knowledge to expand meaning and pose questions

The new learnings I now have are:  Something new that I have just learnt from the first text is that you need two people to weave a tukutuku

2 Questions I have are: Are there any more designs then they showed in the book? And if there is what are the meanings behind them?

Use prior knowledge to connect to at least two texts

The prior knowledge I had for Text 1 was: From the first text my prior knowledge was when they were talking about how they use flax And I have also seen where they put them to decorate the wharenui.

The prior knowledge I had for Text 2 was: For the second text I didn’t really have any prior knowledge with it as much as the first text because it was set in I think the 1900’s

Make connections between at least two texts and own life experiences

2 things that I could relate to from my own life experience in Text 1 was: I have been to a Marae and have seen the tukutuku I have seen people making the tukutuku

2 things that I could relate to from my own life experience in Text 2 was: A connection that I found was they went on a boat over waters But again I still can’t relate to the book that much
