Sadako And The Thousand Paper Cranes

Today for wananga we watched a video about a girl named Sadako. Here is the Link for the video if you want to watch it to understand. I had to answer these questions:

Who is the girl in the video?
 The girl in the video is Sadako.

Where is she?
She is in heaven, a place you go when you die.

Why do you think she is there?
Because she must have died.

How did she get there?
She might have been taken by a crane or something.

How does she feel?
She is upset at the start because she is away from her family but at he end she is happy because she got to give something to them from above.

What is a paper crane and what does it represent?
A paper crane is a paper version of the real bird called the crane. I think the paper cranes represent a peaceful bird that helps people pass on.

Then I had to read a short story about the story but the true version. Here is that Link. Then I had to answer more questions:

Add four facts to your work that you learned about the real Sadako:

1. Sadako died of leukaemia at the age of 12.

2. She folded 1,300 paper cranes in the hope that she would survive and help other people survive.

3. There is a memorial with her standing tall holding a paper crane.

4. She has a brother named Masahiro.

What CARR value do you think Sadako showed while making her paper cranes?
I think Sadako showed more than one value when she was making the paper cranes. She showed commitment by sticking to her task and resilience by not just wishing to live but to help others.

If you could choose a symbol of hope for the world during 2020 what would it be and why?
I would choose someone hugging earth and telling it, it will be alright. I chose that because earth is going through a lot right now and we need to support it.

  1. Awesome blog work today, Hayley! I enjoyed how focussed you were on this task and you were really reflective in your answers. I thought it was nice how you included the links to the different resources we look at in class (the film and the reading) so that your readers can have a look as well.

    I like the idea you shared about how Sadako showed Commitment and Resilience, these are things we need to be showing during the difficult time the world is in, but your idea for a hug around the earth would be a great symbol of strength.

    Great work today on this.
