Writing: Pourquoi Story

 LI: To write a pourquoi (tell me why or how) that paints a picture in the mind of the reader.

The above presentation is an animation created by Juel, Aftaia and me showcasing our pourquoi story under the topic of writing. Our challenge this week was to create a pourquoi story that we would illustrate and explain to the junior classes. A pourquoi story is a fictional story and tells us why something is the way it is. Our story tells how the snake got its scales through the above animation. The story is about neke, who was very jealous of the other animals as they had a unique appearance and then decides to sneak into Tane's cave and steal the ancient feathers of the birds from the past. She looked very beautiful but when Tane comes to know about the situation, neke feels embarrassed and gives the feathers back as well as leaves the place and never comes back. The moral of the story is that every creature on this earth is unique and always has something special that the other person does not have. Later, we shared our story with Room 2 and 4 and they loved it a lot.
