This lesson integrates writing with Fashion Strategies. It gives students a chance to look back over the years that they have lived and reflect on all the styles that have come and gone. This is a good activity to do after you have gone through the historical fashion eras.
This assignment works best when given after the Historical Fashion Eras have been discussed in class. It can be used to integrate what the students just learned into their own lives. It can help them relate to the different fashion fads that they have experienced. It may be helpful for you to think back on the different things you have worn; when you explain the assignment to the students, you can use some examples from your own life to elaborate further.
It may be helpful for students to have learned about the different fashion eras before they do this assignment. On the other hand, it may be a good assignment to use as an introduction to the Historical Fashion Eras unit.
This lesson can help students relate their knowledge to the different fashion fads they have experienced.
A student having writing difficulties could be expected to write a shorter paper based on his or her individual writing capabilities.
Read through each paper individually with the grading rubric attached to the paper. It may be helpful to write comments and correct grammar and spelling as you read through so that you can complete the rubric as you go.
