writing week 5 term 3 why the haka is good for me

 



I think the haka is good for me because...

Firstly doing the haka in the morning makes you more energetic and awake. The haka was known as a war challenge or war cry in Maori culture the men would traditionally do it before war. so their is a meaning to do it.

secondly doing the haka is a form of respect to the Maori culture and the words you say in hakas also have a meaning to it. 

the haka is good for you because you learn a new a new language and doing the haka typically represent a display of a tribe's pride, strength and unity. Actions include foot stamping,tongue protrusions and rhythmic body slapping to accompany a loud chant.

  1. Kia ora Brooke,

    You have made some great points in your writing and I can tell you have used research to support your ideas.

    Remember we need to include our N.L and R.T for our writing.

    You also need to remember to add a conclusion at the end of your writing which sums up the main ideas.
    Your introduction could also be improved. Remember this is when you make a statement about the topic and your point of view. For example: "At Papakura Central School we do the haka everyday and I believe haka is good for me. I will explain why in my writing".
