Persuasive Writing

Kia Ora everyone

This week we are learning about Persuasive Writing. We had to learn about different legends and we had to do some writing about Maui. It was called A Great Mythical Hero. We wrote three reason on why Maui would make a Great Mythical Hero. Here it is.

TITLE: Maui - A Great Mythical Hero.

Introduction: I believe that Maui is a great mythical hero.

Reason 1: Firstly Maui helped lots of people because he gathered dry wood from Mahuika (fire goddess) so we can make fire and he threw a net onto the sun to slow the day so we can do more.

Reason 2: Secondly,  Maui has super-human powers because he was a demi-god.He was strong enough to pull up a gigantic fish that became the North Island of NZ. His father was Tangaroa, god of the sea.

Reason 3:  Finally, he was magical, because he had a powerful fish hook so he could shape shift  into a Hawk to fly away from danger.

Conclusion: I am sure that you will agree that Maui is a great mythical hero. He helped people by bring fire, he used his superhuman powers to pull up the north island of NZ. Finally he can shape shift into a hawk to make great escapes.
