This week for writing we had to write a persuasive peace. The topic was if Kapa haka is good for you?
Kapa haka is the term for Maori action songs and the groups who perform them. Kapa haka means group and dance.Maori people express there culture by doing kapa haka. In kapa haka you can also do solos. Kapa haka improves lots of te reo and dance moves.
Firstly,Kapa haka can improve your knowledge about maori culture.For example Loads of kids dont have the opportunity to learn maori culture. But kapa haka can teach you te reo and cool dances. Most Schools do kapa haka. I like to do kapa haka because it improves my te reo.
Secondly,Kapa haka improves your confidence.for example in kapa haka there are leaders they need to be loud and proud to lead everyone. If you have confidence you will probably get more opportunities for jobs. Confidence can prevent you from being lonley and having axienty. Another example confedence helps us to be ready for lifes experiences.
Thirdly,kapa haka benefits non-maori students. Not all kids have to be maori to join kapa haka because not everyone is maori but still wants to learn more about their countries culture.for example not all of the All blacks in the team are maori but they still represent New Zeland and they also know how to do the haka.
Kapa haka Improves confidence,benifets non-Maori students and improve confidence. Kapa haka might not be good for you if you dont like performing in front of people or dont like to wear special uniforms.Fun fact about the Maori haka. The Haka performed by the Allblacksis a celebration of life over death. I got the fact from google. I strongly believe that Kapa haka is good for you.
Do you think Kapa haka is good for you?and why?
Wow Grace! This is a fantastic piece of writing. In your introduction, you have explained what kapa haka is and have given a short summary of your arguments- ka pai! Good use of firstly, secondly and thirdly to separate your arguments in different paragraphs. Your explanations are well thought out, especially when you wrote about how confidence can help you in life. Well done on summarizing your arguments again in your conclusion. You can also give a recommendation to principals/ teachers here about how kapa haka can be added to our school life. A couple of spelling reminders - lonely, benefits.
