Learning Story.

My Learning Story
Hurumanu: Poetic Arts
Name: Alex	Teachers: bh,ds,sc,hh.			Term	2020
Reflection: Give at least three examples in each of the boxes below.
What We Did:   Our learning was based on two stories  ‘Taniwha at Rakaia Gorge’ and ‘The Creation of Tuna’ What we did  was read about the creation of tuna. Last thing we did was Tapa art. We did Haiku poems. We did water coloring.
What I Learned:   I learned that haiku poems didn’t need to rhyme, the structure of the haiku poem is 575 this means 5 syllables on the top 7 syllables on the middle and 5 syllables on the bottom.    I learnt that the diamante poem looks like a diamond, that is why it is called the diamante poem it’s shaped like a diamond. In your First word, it needs to be the main character.  I learned that tapa art is a maori tradition thing, tapa is made out of bark. We paint the tapa with crayon and then paint it with black paint. We paint the background brown so we can see the black paint clearly. If you want to see what I did Here is a link to my blog post. https://hpsalexanderb.blogspot.com/
My Favourite Part:  My favourite part was making the poem because it was cool, it’s also my favourite because I love reading poems.   My favourite part was watching the people that were using these poems. I also like blogging the poems because I get to make my own. My favourite part of doing the tapa art was painting, this is my favourite part because I like painting and drawing. My other favourite thing was making my designs.
My Next Steps:  I think I need to work more on my painting because even if I like doing it I still need to improve.  I need more work on making poems one of my poems didn’t make sense but I fixed it. I need more working on creativity for my blog.
