SLJ - Week 3 day 3 Activty (1,2 and bonus activity)

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:

Golden Harvest

Ray Columbus and the Invaders

New Zealand Underdogs

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?

• I like the way how they do the patterens

• I like the way people look in it

• It Might not be comfortable

• You might not like the ways it looks.

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.

To Mrs Eilar

I'm just asking if you can make a change like put up some fun activities and
put i different things to do because the school will get less interesting thing
to do so i'm just asking to put some different subjects and put up more fun
activities and you should put up some more classes like art class music class.
