In Literacy we have been learning about the dawn raids, On March 12 1974, the government had decided that they would go to Pacific Islanders houses to which they believed overstayed their visas or work permits. Many people were deported back to the Pacific Islands and houses were broken into very early in the morning which is how the dawn raids got its name.
For this term in extension we were tasked to be fashion designers. we have been learning about 3 main things, Cultural Appropriation, Self Consciousness, and Sustainability. We had to choose two pieces of clothing and I chose a Haori which originated from Japan and a Kahoa aka a Tongan lei. It was our job to find out what materials it was made from and if is okay for the environment. Especially if it is appropriate like for example it would be rude if a women wore a bikini in somewhere where showing skin is like offensive its just isn't right.
This is my drawing of the go go boots from dawn raid. Dawn Raid is a book that we have been reading this week and have been learning about recently, Dawn Raid is about a girl Sofia and her writing about her life in a diary. Well Thats It For Now Peace and Have An Amazing Day!
