Activity 4

Life stories

Talk to an older relative or friend about their earliest memories of music and fashion. (It doesn’t matter how old they are, but it is important that you find out in which year they were born.)

Find out as much factual information as you can. What did they wear? What music did they like? Where did they buy their clothes? Where did they listen to music? Also try to find out about their opinions and feelings. Were music and fashion important to them? Did they get into arguments with their parents about clothes and music?

It would be a good idea to discuss as a class the kinds of questions you might ask, before talking to the relative or friend.
