Class Activity:

-Reviewed three Hi'iaka chants. The first steps to understanding the chants are 1) Who is saying the chant, 2) Who is the chant to, and 3) What is the chant about/asking for. The makawalu process is a useful tool to help understand pre-contact Hawaiian chants because you are using the same tools as our kupuna did. THe time that it will take to master this tool will depend on how often we interact with chants.

Discussion on Topic Sentences:
- How to create a thesis sentence " What and Why". Please refer to the previous post for more information. It is important that the "What" and "Why" are answered in a topic sentence.
