25 Words Summary

Keeping Maori storytelling alive is important because it helps people remember their culture’s history and when the hear stories about it, it keeps them captivated.

Freeman, Sanujan and I created this 25 word summary using 6 words of our own choice. We listened to facts and reasons of why we should keep oral story telling alive and used the facts collaboratively to create this. We think story telling is important because it keeps children captivated when they hear about it.
