4. During our Te Tuhi visit we will explore oral, written, visual and body language through role play and making posters. To prepare for our visit and to be familiar with our chosen story we will need to practice role playing. This will help us when we make our posters, as each poster will show a scene from our chosen story. Here are a few things that might help in preparing for our visit…

5. A few tips… Your chosen story can be a myth, legend, fairytale or non-fiction story. When performed it should be no longer than 20mins. Make sure everyone has a role to play, no matter how big or small. Select people to narrate the story while others perform. Having the story written (or printed) on paper while performing can help us remember our roles. We can bring these along when we role play at Te Tuhi. Most importantly, have fun! And work together to help tell your chosen the best way you can. Now lets start role playing!

His tail stretched away to the north and his head lay far in the south. Maui: I must get my hook! Do not touch him while I am gone. He is smooth and flat and I do not want him damaged. Narrator: But the moment Maui was out of sight his brothers began to hack out their share. For after all hadn’t they helped with the paddling? The great fish writhed in agony as the paddle blades sliced into his flesh. The fish of Maui: notes
