Why is it so important to keep oral storytelling alive?

Storytelling has been passed down from many generations. It is important to keep storytelling alive so that people learn about the tradition and the culture.

Ofa and I have researched about the Maori storytelling. We have watched videos on why it is so important to keep oral storytelling alive. Using the words we found most important we made a 25 word summary. From researching about the Maori storytelling I have learnt the importance of telling a story. 

How Maui Slowed The Sun

Ofa and I made a comic strip using Storyboardthat about how Maui slowed the sun. We made this comic strip to show you rather than tell you the story. In each scene it shows you a part of the story. I found it challenging to find the right scenes from the story that would  best.
