Myths and Legends – Room 21

Room 21 is now looking at Myths and Legends. We have been reading how Maui Tames the Sun. I would like all children in Room 21 to answer the following questions.

1. What is the difference between a myth and a legend?

2. Is ‘Maui Tames the Sun’ a myth or a legend?

3. Please explain the parts of a ‘Story Mountain?’

4. Who are the main characters in ‘Maui Tames the Sun’?

5. Where is the setting for the ‘Maui Tames the Sun’?

6. What is your favourite myth or legend? Write four sentences explaining the plot of your favourite myth or legend.
