Whakatauki ( Extension Project )

Task Description: This term for extension we have been learning what Whakatauki is and what they are. A Whakatauki is a Maori proverb and it is also a sentence that has a meaning in it. To begin this extension project we had to choose a whakatauki. My Whakatauki that I choose reads ( Be strong, Be courageous, Be brave) In Maori it reads ( Kia Kaha , Kia maia, Kia manawatu).  After we have finished choosing our whakatauki we had to create an animation showing what our whakatauki means and how it can relate to others in the world. Then when you have finished doing that you would have to create a script showcasing what is happening in your animation. Doing this project was so much fun because I learnt so many things. For example I learnt what whakatauki means and what they are. What was hard about this project was figuring out how my whakatauki can relate to others in the world. I hope that you all enjoy checking out my whakatauki animation. Remember to leave a positive comment on my blog, thank you.

Have you ever wanted to go on a vacation where the weather is perfect and the sun is shining down on the beautiful ocean? Well here’s a beach called the sunshade beach where you can find happiness and delight. Jump into the crystal clear ocean and sit in the shade spots under the high palm trees. As I enjoyed every moment on this gorgeous beach and the heartbeat of this island, I’m going to remember every single detail and moment.

Whakatauki (Extension)

Task Description: This morning in extension we got to use adobe express to generate images that we were going to use for our whakatauki. A whakatauki is like a quote that shows thoughts and feelings. The whakatauki that I chose online was ”Be strong, Be courageous, Be brave, Kia Kaha, kia māia, kia Manawatu”. After choosing my whakatauki I then had to create a goggle slides of a brainstorm about my whakatauki. When I finally finished my brain storming I then had to go onto adobe express and generate the images that I needed for my whakatauki. This part was really hard to do because every time I generated an image it always appeared with pictures I wasn’t expecting. On pages 3 – 5 I tried three times to see if my generated images would turn out great but it didn’t really. Even though the images didn’t look so perfect I still used them. One of the best images that I chose was my third one because it looked the most related. I hope that you all enjoy checking out my whakatauki presentation.
