Sadako And The Thousand Paper Cranes

Kia Ora fellow readers and welcome back to another blog post today's blog post is going to be about a video we watched called Sadako And The Thousand Paper Cranes. Here is the link to the video if you want to watch it. Link To Video. For a part of this task we were asked to answer some questions.

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

Where is she? Why do you think she is there ?
She is in heaven and she is there because she died.

How did she get there ?
Unfortunately she died.

How does she feel ?
At first she feels upset because she can't see her family but then she starts to become happy.

What is a paper crane and what does it represent ?
A paper crane is a crane in paper form and it represents success and good fortune.

Then I had to read the story about Sadako and answer questions based off of the story.

4 Facts
Sadako Sasaki got cancer because of the atomic bomb that got set off. 
Sadako folded over 1300 paper cranes.
The wish that Sadako made was to get well again, and to attain peace & healing to the victims of the world.
The paper crane is often given as a wish for peace.

What CARR value do you think Sadako showed while making the paper cranes?
I think she showed commitment because she was committed to making 1000 or more paper cranes to get her wish.

If you could choose a symbol of hope for the world during 2020 what would it be and why ?
I would choose a earth with hands supporting it because we all need to work together to stop the spread of Covid-19. 

I hope you learnt something from this blog post. Have you ever read the story before or watched the video before ?

    You did a great job sharing your answers to the Sadako activity. You were focussed on your work and completed the task in the given time frame. Tomorrow you will be able to try to make your own paper crane.

    Why do you think I wanted to share Sadako's story with our class?
