Day 3: Groovy Man (The 1970’s)
Activity 1: Ready to Roll
In the 1970s one of the most common television programmes was
hosted by a man named Roger Gascoigne. During the show, Roger
would introduce music videos and then play them for the TV audience.
He also invited famous people to come onto the show and perform songs
that were currently popular.
Watch the following three clips that were shown on the Ready to Roll
programme:
When you have finished, rank the clips in order from your most favourite
(#1) to your least favourite (#3). Post your rankings on your blog.
Activity 2: Bell Bottom Pants
Fashion in the 1970s was quite unique. Take a look at the pictures
of a ‘typical’ 1970s outfit and tell us, on your blog, two things that
you like about 1970s fashion and two things that you don’t like
about the fashion of the day. I am not a huge fan of the patterned pants.
What about you?
Girls Clothes
I like the girl in the yellow shirt because your skirt matches her shirt
and shoes perfectly.
I like the girl in the green dress because her clothes is beautiful
and it’s the perfect green to match her shoes.
I don’t like the girl that has a green shirt because I don’t like the
sleeves. I also don’t like the pants that she’s wearing because
the bottom pops out.
Mens Clothes
I like the first man that is standing in front because his shirt
matches his pants and his belt.
I also like the man that is standing behind the first man, I like
his clothes because his shirt matches the light blue pants
perfectly.
I don’t like the man with the patterned pants because it doesn't match his shirt.
I also don’t like the man in the green shirt because his pants
don’t really match his belt and his shirt.
Bonus Activity: A Bilingual Schooling System
For much of the past century, schools in New Zealand taught
students in only one language – English. In 1972, Ngā Tamatoa
member, Mrs. Hana Jackson, submitted a petition to Parliament
to ask the government to include the teaching of Te Reo Māori
(the Māori language) and Māori culture in New Zealand schools.
We still use petitions to this day when we want an organisation
(e.g. a school) to make a change.
Think about your school. What is one thing that you would like change.
Would you like to learn about different things? Maybe you think school
should only be open 3 days a week?
On your blog, write a letter to your principal to try and convince him/her
to make the change. Ensure that your letter is polite and respectful.
Dear Mr.Coakley,
Can you please change it from a whole week to only 4 days a week.
Can you also change our learning to different things please, I do like
the learning that were doing now it’s just that I want to try something
new and learn something new. Can you please let us do music 2 times
a week because I want to learn more about playing instrument and singing.
Kind Regards,
Silia.
