I learnt about Witi Ihimaera.
First we learnt about who he was and where he was born. I researched what stories he made and what theme his book was about. A fact is that he was the first Maori person to publish a book. He wrote short books and he also wrote novels.
Next we research what books he wrote, why is it important to NZ history that Witi Ihimaera told Maori stories. The answer is that he was the first ever Maori to publish a book. He wrote Whale Rider.
I enjoyed this task because I learnt new things about Maori people. I need to improve on finding facts about him. I did well on researching him.
