Fire Station Summary

This is my summary about our time at the Panmure Fire Station. I worked with Jeremiah L, Zane and Harlem M. We first chose 20 important words then from those 20 words we chose the 6 most important words. We then wrote our 25 words summary including the 6 words in it.

Why is it so important to keep oral story telling alive?

Today Daniel and I created a 25 word summary to answer the question: Why is it so important to keep oral story telling alive? For this task, we had to listen to some videos that gave answers to the question. The videos were spoken in Maori so we had to use subtitles. We had to work collaboratively with our partners to complete this task. Our summary had 26 words because it sounded better that way.

It’s important to teach younger generations about Maori storytelling to remember the past. It keeps the cultural and traditional stories alive so they won’t be forgotten.

Summarizing The Main Idea

Yesterday afternoon, Miss Apelu (a teacher from Tamaki College) visited LS2. We were sharing our summarizing work with her. Mrs Anderson read a short text about recycling and we had to write down the words we thought was important. We then narrowed it down to 20 words then 6 words. Using those 6 words we wrote a summary.
