Taonga Summary

LI: To explain in fewer words what the text is about

For reading, we have been focusing on summarising text information such as stories, articles and other texts. The text we used for this reading task was the traditional Maori story of how the world came to be. We used the summarising DLO to help us write what we think happens in the in the story is true. First we needed to find 20 important words from the story, then we had to find the 6 most important words from the 20 important words. After doing that we used those six words to make a short story about the story. I found this task interesting because I got to summarise a story in fewer words, meaning I understand what they story is about.
