The Legend Of Paikea Retelling


My Reflection
I was learning to retell a legend in a new way. I decided to retell it from Ruatapu's point of view. I found this tricky because it was difficult to translate the story into my own words. This version was different from the draft because I wanted it to be more from Ruatapu's point of view, not just a story that gave him a little bit of slack. My next step is to retell a story from another culture, not Maori.

My first reaction when I read this was, "I'm not sure about this. I think this language might cause offence." Then I read your reflection and I understand now why you have chosen the language that you have. I think this piece shows initiative. i asked for a retell, but you've taken it one step further and changed the point of view as well. Nice thinking!
