Questions and activities include: geography of Hawaii, History of Polynesian voyaging, science of volcanoes forming the Hawaiian islands, learning common words and phrases in Hawaiian, analyzing character prototypes (protagonist, antagonist, anti-hero, etc.), plot elements (background, rising action, climax, falling action, resolution), comparing and contrasting mentor voices in Moana's life (Venn Diagram), connections to literature (Beowulf), thinking critically about Moana's growth throughout the story, Te Fiti vs. Te Ka, understanding metaphors (the Ocean, the Heart of Te Fiti, the Hook), the "moral" of the story, entertainment versus education, Moana versus other recent Disney heroines, and much more. Pick and choose what you want your students to focus on...
