What teachers like you had to say:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I have several students with IEP goals of comparing and contrasting. This was a different and great way to do exactly that. We'd watch the movie then read the passage and compare/contrast the two!" – Keep Calm and Sped on
The song for this activity explores the culture and history behind a popular kid's movie, comparing the original, Islander folktales with the movie's story.
Listen to the song with subtitles here! (Click here if you have trouble viewing the video.)
Is this too "kiddy" for some of my students?
The song lyrics for these activities cover interesting topics and characters such as Maui, a mighty demigod, providing a good deal of action for students. The song is also performed and written in an energetic style that any students looking for some excitement will enjoy. (Don't worry - your boys will have fun too!)
