LI: To create a screencastify with a family member to improve my maori pronunciation.
The above screencastify is my step it up task as the seventeenth activity for the Summer Learning Journey. For making this screencastify I asked my younger brother for help, so that he can ask questions and I answer them in Te Reo Maori. I think this task was very helpful to improve my maori skills because I solved the questions first and then said them while making the video. After completing this activity I learnt the use of macron in other words as well. A macron is a symbol which shows that the letter is a long vowel and must be read in a stretch. For example, in the word kāpuapua I will read "kā" at a stretch and read the rest of the words normally. I think these task was very knowledgeable for me because I learn something new every time. I am very excited to complete other Summer Learning Journey tasks as well.
Kia ora Sakshi
ReplyDeleteSuch great pronunciation! You’re really nailing those long vowels, I’m impressed! Nice to have your brother featuring again too. He’ll be learning a lot alongside you haha.
I hope you’re having a lovely day!
Merry Christmas,

DeleteI spent Christmas with my family, we went for a bike ride and picnic. It was great weather for it.

Kia ora Benjamin,
DeleteThank you for taking time and replying to my comment as well as for answering my question. That sounds fun! I am glad your family and you had a great time on Christmas. He aha te tohu huarere? My favourite weather is winter because I really like creating fog on the window and making drawings no it. I also like staying in the blanket the whole day and taking a sip of hot chocolate. What is your favourite weather and why?
I am looking forward for your reply.

You are really progressing with your pronunciation. The macrons are like those road signs we see when driving. They help us navigate the language.
ReplyDeleteI anm really enjoying following your SLJ. Fabulous work Sakshi.
Greetings Mr, Johnston,
DeleteThank you for taking time and commenting on my Summer Learning Journey blog post again. I am glad you liked my work! Wow, that was such a great comparison! I agree, macrons are like road signs because they both guide and tell what to do. The road signs generally tells the rules to follow whereas the macron give a signal to the reader to say the word at a stretch and emphasize on it. Do you know some other languages that have macrons in their writing?
Merry belated Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Thank you for the comments.
