WLJ Day 4 activity 2!

Activity 2: After a morning of learning about beached whales in Golden Bay, you and your group are driven to a nearby town, Nelson, to watch a special movie calledWhale rider.’ It is a famous movie about a young girl who was born and raised in New Zealand. Watch the following movie trailers for Whale Rider: Whale Rider trailer #1 and Whale Rider Trailer #2 and then write a summary of the movie on your blog. What is it about? Be sure to also give the movie a rating out of 5 based on the trailer [1 = bad movie, 2 = okay movie, 3 = pretty good, 4 = good movie, 5 = excellent movie]. When ‘Whale Rider’ finishes, you and your tour group enjoy a delicious meal in downtown Nelson before heading back to your hotel. You need to go to bed early because you have to get up at 4:30 a.m. the next morning to travel back to Farewell Spit to see a group (pod) of Hector’s Dolphins. It is going to be an early morning!

This is my Summary about Whale Rider!

This movie is all about a young girl named Paikea she totally had no idea that she was the best warrior of them all, which includes the boys. Many years later her Koro started calling to the gods, He tried & tried & tried, Until the time had come for Paikea the gods had heard Paikea call to them. Paikea had found a Whale and hoped on it as the Whale started moving she held on tight. As it says that people with legend Paikea's blood could only ride them. One by one all the Whales took off without leaving Paikea behind, It was like she was the Queen but she was the hero. All the Whales went above & way below the sea but Paikea never got scared or letted go of the Whale she just stayed on the Whale, She wasn't afraid of dying at all but unfortunetly..., She had ended up in hospital, But happily her Koro had just found out that she was the true Maori Warrior.

  1. Hi Hinerangi,

    This is a really nice summary of the 'Whale Rider' trailer. It is a complicated and complex story and, yet, you have done a lovely job of summarising it for us. I hope that you get the chance to watch the full-length film one day. It's well worth it! The girl who plays the main character, Paikea, was actually nominated for a huge award (called an 'Oscar') for her work on this film. Although she didn't win the Oscar, she was able to go to the awards show and was the youngest person to be nominated at the time.

    Cheers,

    Rachel :)
