Turuhira Thanksgiving Story

In 1863 the first thanksgiving was celebrated on the 26th November. Pilgrims and American Indians was the first people to celebrate thanksgiving day. There president in the U.S on 1863 was Abraham Lincoln who thought of celebrating the event. Thanksgiving is a popular event in the U.S, people love to celebrate this kind of event.

This year different countries who are popular with this historical event are celebrating thanksgiving in the U.S in Canada and in Liberian. 2013 date for the united states would be on November 28. In Canada thanksgiving was celebrated in October 14th November 2013. Liberian celebrate thanksgiving in November 7th 2013.

Liberians, Canada and U.S loves to celebrate Thanksgiving because it was very popular. Liberians celebrated the event back in the days also Canada and U.S also did. Thanksgiving is celebrated to give thanks to God and Americans for freeing the slaves and granting them Liberia in Africa to live as free men. Thanksgiving is also an opportunity for Liberians to recognize the good things that life has to offer them, even though the country has been troubled by internal conflicts.

The origins of Canadian Thanksgiving are more closely connected to the traditions of Europe than of the United States. Long before Europeans settled in North America, festivals of thanks and celebrations of harvest took place in Europe in the month of October. The very first Thanksgiving celebration in North America took place in Canada .

Movie Reflection

Yellow Hat - The things I enjoyed

 The thing that I enjoyed was working with my friends and Mr Luifau. Mr Liufau was a great actor and mostly made us laugh. We loved co-operating together and having fun during the scenes. We had a great time talking and laughing during our plan. Sesalina, Kimberly, Dante and Turuhira worked really well and managed ourselves really well.

Black Hat - Which things didn’t I like.

Things that we did not like was that we did not pay attention properly on what my group was doing. We also never helped each other out, we also fight if we should lip-sync or not. We made up a rough ending which didn't quite go well. But still we loved it and went on.

Green Hat - What was something interesting about this week.

The interesting thing about this week was that everyone in our group finished our work on time. We also worked together to make this movie very interesting. The interesting fact is that it’s our first time having a teacher in our class and also making a movie about ‘LOVE’.

White Hat - What did I learn.

The thing that I learned was filming in different kinds of ways like mid shot, wide shot, point view, wide shot, close up, extremely close and wide shot. We also learnt to remember to be nice and also enjoy ourselves. I learnt to be a good actor and not to fiddle around and not concentrating.

Blue Hat - What can I do better next time.

The thing that I can do better next time is help my friends by editing the movie so we can  have heaps of helping hands around instead of doing nothing. We can also work together and have fun with our friends.
