Summer learning journey week 3 day 13 Bonus

For this activity I had to watch a trailer about the Beatles The Beatles: 8 Days a Week – The Touring Years. I have to write 2 interesting facts I noticed in there. The 2 things I noticed are: The Beatles have stuck together even in hard times. The 2 thing I noticed is: they were looking for somewhere new to go.

Hi Harry! It is great to see that you watched The Beatles: 8 Days a Week - The Touring Years were able to pull out two specific facts. Firstly, they did always look as though they were searching for someone else to go when they were on tour. I think that they spent a lot of time trying to escape from the crowds and the throngs of fans. Apparently they would routinely have people sleep outside their house and follow them down the street just to catch a glimpse of them. In some cases girls would even faint when they saw one of the Beatles in person. It sounds like it was quite an overwhelming experience for them. I don't think that I would enjoy being followed every day or having people constantly screaming at me or wanting me to sign an autograph. Would you mind all of that attention?

It is nice to see that The Beatles did stick together through the difficult times, although they eventually broke up as a band in 1970. From that time to this, two of the original members have sadly passed away (John Lennon and George Harrison). The other two members are still alive and one, Paul McCartney, still performs quite regularly.

Have you ever seen him perform? Here is a link to a recent concert that he gave on a rooftop in New York City (if you're interested): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJWYfqsUoJY

Enjoy!

Hi Rachel, I noticed something about week 3 day 12 activity 1 where the link to the clip: The voice ~ Australia best blinds auction is removed so I can't watch it and do the activity. I hope you can fix it so I am able to watch the clip and rate it.

Hi Harry,

Oh, my apologies. This must be a recent change. I will immediately go into the site and adjust the link so that you can watch the clip and rate it. My apologies!

Best,
Rachel :)

Hi Harry - the link has been adjusted. It is a clip of the Best Auditions from the Australian version of the Voice. Feel free to hop online, watch the clip and rate it. It is slightly longer than the original clip so you don't have to watch the entire thing. I think that you will get a good feel for it if you watch about 5-6 minutes...

I'll look forward to reading your rating tomorrow!

Cheers,
Rachel :)
