Moana Analysis = Excellent
This is an excellent product! While teaching medieval world history, I wanted to be sure and include the story of Polynesian voyagers, their cultures and beliefs. This mini-unit has it all: rich cultural background, engaging discussion, and a challenging (and very worthwhile!) analysis project of the Disney film. Highly recommended! You will have an amazing week in Social Studies with this unit.
