PERFORMANCE TASK
The Performance Task was tied to a recent huaka`i to Hawaii News Now where students learned the responsibilities of a news reporter and the importance of conveying information effectively. Using the knowledge that the students gained from their HNN visit, the students became Jr. News Reporters and were tasked with creating a news report (retelling a self selected mo`olelo from a moku on O`ahu) for a HNN segment called “Mo`olelo Minute”.
