Day 3: Groovy Man (The 1970’s)
Activity 1: Ready to Roll
In the 1970s one of the most common television programmes was called ‘Ready to Roll.’ It was broadcast on Saturday afternoons and 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:

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?
My favorite thing about the 1970s clothes
The fashion i like in the 1970s
- I love how the clothes suit in the 1970s
2. It beautiful how they match the clothes and they have good taste
Two things i don’t like about fashion of the day
- I don’t really like regular clothes
2. But i like clothes that suit
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.

Hey there Maria, thank you for sharing your thoughts on the fashion of the 1970's and also comparing it with the fashion of today. I think the fashion in the 1970's is quite colourful and cool but I don't really like the pants that the men and women are wearing. Their hairstyles are a little strange too, but I suppose they didn't seem strange at the time.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I've sent a request to view your letter to your principal as well. Looking forward to reading your work.

Hey there Maria, thank you for rating the three songs. Could you provide a reason for each song. Why did you put Golden Harvest first and the other two after in second and last place?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Billy
