Day 4 Weekly Activity (Activity 2)

Activity 2: After a morning of learning about beached whales in Golden Bay, you and your group are driven to a nearby town, Nelson, to watch a special movie called ‘Whale rider.’ It is a famous movie about a young girl who was born and raised in New Zealand. Watch the following movie trailers for Whale Rider: Whale Rider trailer #1 and Whale Rider Trailer #2 and then write a summary of the movie on your blog. What is it about? Be sure to also give the movie a rating out of 5 based on the trailer [1 = bad movie, 2 = okay movie, 3 = pretty good, 4 = good movie, 5 = excellent movie].


The Whale Rider 

I really think this movie is great so I rate it a 5.


This movie is about a young Maori girl that had a dream to be a cheif, but apparently, her koro (grandpa) doesn't want her to be because when she was born, she had a twin that was a male but he didn't make it. Only males are allowed to ascend to chiefdom in a Maori tribe in New Zealand. This traditional custom is upset when the child selected to be the next chief dies at birth.
