Homework Term One, Week Seven



=

 * //For homework this week, your task is to sit down with your parent(s)/caregivers and interview them about Pop Culture when they were your age, through to the end of their teenage years-early twenties. (Lets call it their decade) Ask them these questions. Feel free to add your own. //**======

=

 * //Music. Who were some of the biggest bands/artists of your mum and dad's time? What was their music like? Why did they like or not like them? Ask your mum and dad to play a couple of their favourite songs and say why they liked them. What do you think of them? (Be kind-one day you may have kids too!) How is your parents' music different to today's? //**======

=

 * //Fashion. What was hot in your parents' era? What did your parents consider fashionable? What did they wear? What hairstyles were popular? What was the style of sunglasses? How was fashion and music linked? How did music influence fashion and vice versa? Ask them to show you some photos of themselves. What about video? (Be prepared to be shocked….. yes, your parents used to be young!!) (They started ageing about the time you were born). //**======

=

 * //Social and political influences? What was happening socially and politically at the time? What world events were occurring? How did those events influence life in general? //**======

=

 * //Crime/Law and Order. What was it like crime wise in your parents' day? Were the laws any different to what they are now? If so what is the difference? Have the crime rates got worse or better in your parents' opinion? Why is that? Ask them for their reasons? //**======

=

 * //Cost of Living. How much did it cost your parents for things? Did they get pocket money? If so how much? Ask them for examples. How has the cost of living changed? //**======
