L.I: To create a DLO that tells others about tatau
Today I did one of the activites that Mrs Anderson put up for us. I did the Tatau challenge. Basically what I had to do in this challenge was research some information about the Tatau. Some things I learnt about the Tatau was that its name was created by two fijian women. The traditional tattoo represents something that they are resepcted for. Some of them are like status, power, honor and pride. Those are only a few but there's more. The samoan people who have no traditonal tattoo's are called telefua/telenoa which means naked. One of the most used tattoo's are called the pe'a. The pe'a is only used on men. Sometimes on younger kids, specifically on kids who started their puberty. The pe'a goes from the waist to the knees. Each section represnts the person who has the Pe'a, their culture and family. The most popular female tattoo is called the Malu. It goes from the upper thighs and the knees below. I enjoyed this task because I got to learn more about my own culture and the origin of the Tatau.
Hi Leon
ReplyDeleteI absolutely loved reading your DLO and your blog post blurb because the detail you included gave me the opportunity to learn lots of new information. You have taught me so much about the pe'a and I now know the design represents each person's culture and family. That's really interesting. I'm glad you enjoyed this task. Does anyone in your family have a pe'a? Well done for keeping your learning going.

Hi Leon
ReplyDeleteYou have created a really informative DLO with heaps of interesting information. I enjoyed reading that the Tatau was introduced by two Fijian Women, that the most popular tattoo for females is called Malu and that the pe'a is only used by men. I have learnt a lot from your DLO. Well Done
