Creative Writing - Ye Gods!

Take your students to another level as they write about the meeting of a Māori God with one from any other culture!  This task is based on the idea used in Glenn Colquhoun’s tale North South in which the gods (ngā Atua) of te ao Māori meet Celtic gods.  While Colquhoun uses verse to tell his tale, students are asked to write prose (although they may add elements such as waiata or karakia to their story).   
 
You may recognise this task from the old 1.4 Creative Writing days.  Now's it's been rejigged to remove references to that ol' Achievement Standard to be used as a generic, scaffolded writing task.  Suitable for Year 10-12 (and perhaps year 13).
