Kupe  

Guided writing 

orientation

One day in Te Moana a Nui a Kiwa on the island of Hawaiki there lived a man called Kupe. The island was small and the village was cramped. .lush tropical trees covered the island. standing on the golden stand, with his Taiaha firmly in his hands, Kupe surveyed the empty ocean. The ocean karangatia to kupe. 

Problem

¨this island is too cramped, there isn't enough space for us¨kupe said to Ngahue. ¨Ae! Te Wheke is eating all the kai¨declared Ngahue. te Wheke was an octopus that lived in the blue ocean and his arms were so grippy and Te Wheke's skin was slimy.  And kupe and hine-te-Aparangatia set sail to hunt for the wheke! 

Climax 

For weeks the warriors pursued Te Wheke. The chase was hard. the rain pelleted down and the wind rocked the Matawhaorua back and forth like a swing. And te Wheke started to throw all of the seafood back in the water. Then the warriors started to get angry and hungry. The warriors felt like killing the wheke because of what he did.

Solution 

Finally, Kupe came out with a solution.¨lets  trap that checky wheke in the cave¨ later that evening Kupe threw the calabashes in the water to distract the wheke. Te wheke grabbed the calabash and Kupe stabbed the wheke. The wheke roared ¨nooo.¨  Kupe smiled to Te wheke.
