Reading 2017 Term 1

Hi Guys Happy 2017,

This Year our topic is: Learn from a myth become a legend, and we have been making slides about the Ohaeaway path to learning based on Myth and Legends. We have slides to tell you guys what is a myth and what is a legend. I have been reading a Myth called The Ungrateful Tiger. It basically tells you that when someone helps you you have to be grateful not ungrateful. Here is a Graphic Organiser about the story. .Click on this to watch the story video


The story comes from a culture.
It has non-human characters like gods.
It can have some real characters like plants, humans and other animals.
It is set in a certain place.
It explains a certain phenomenon or says why things are the way they are.
The main parts of the story are:
Korean tale
Talking animals - oxen and tiger, hare. A talking tree.
Tiger, Hare, Tree,Oxen.
Forest or Jungle?
It tells you that if someone helps you, you have to be grateful for their help.
Tiger gets trapped in a hole. Human helps him. Tiger needs help promises he’ll be grateful as long as he helps him. Well the tiger was not grateful and decided he wanted to eat the innocent young man. The man stood up to the tiger and made a deal the other animals had to judge if the tiger could eat him. The tiger was winning and the tree voted for the tiger cause he thinks that humans cut them down. The Oxen voted for the tiger cause too many people treat them badly. Then the hare came and voted for the human. The human ran away and lived happily ever after.
