IALT: Write down what I think about a movie called 'Whale Rider'
Day 4 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 called ‘Whale 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 activity involved me to watch a short clip and then write a summary based on what it was about. I myself haven't seen this movie, and I didn't know it was 15 years old this year! An old movie that I haven't seen, this is really rare because watching movies is one of my hobbies. It seems like a pretty good movie but I don't recommend adults watching it because it doesn't look like a movie with too much action in it.
This task is similar to one of my school tasks that I complete everyday when I was young. I had to watch something write a short summary about it and then recommend it for different ages for different people. Now, it reminds me of what I learnt while in Primary because I haven't did it in a long time.
I haven't seen this movie. Have you?
A challenge I came across was writing down a short summary. I couldn't quite pick up the key parts of what the narrator was saying but in the end I complete this task because I finish what I start.
Feel free to leave a comment,
Many thanks :)
