Ideas
for Projects |
|
(1) |
Have
the students read the bilingual caption of YT-P06 and
search for Japanese words or phrases corresponding to "dress cool," "darkish," "sober," "baggy,"
etc. Letting the students discuss their favorite fashion or colors
to wear, the teacher should provide the words or phrases that the
students need to describe fashion. After discussing their preferences with
each
other, the students put them in writing.
| 私は／も あかるい／あざやかな／くらい／しぶい いろがすきです。 |
| たとえば（色の名前）がすきです。 |
| だぼっとしたファッションは好きです／あまりすきじゃありません。 |
|
|
(2) |
Have
the students pick out the clothes they like from the Deai photos and comment
on them in writing. In their comments, students should describe the outfit
of the person and add why they like it.
| わたしはこれがいいとおもいます。 さんはAdj.い をきています／Adj.な をはいています。かっこいいです。 |
|
|
(3) |
Have
the students assess the degree of coolness of the Deai students' clothes
and fashion sense. Let them guess to what degree each Deai student is
fashion-conscious. Ask the students to support their guesses using
the Deai photos [See Worksheet #1_1 - #1_7].
|
|
(4) |
Let
the students discuss their favorite fashion using picture clippings
from fashion, sports, and movie magazines. Provide them with some
words or phrases
to describe their favorite fashion when needed.
| かっこいい／はでな／じみな／（有名なタレント）のような |
Compile a fashion scrapbook. Each student prepares a page using clippings
from her/his fashion idol, such as a football player, actor or actress,
singer, etc. Have the students write a caption for each clipping. The clippings
can
also be compiled into a collage poster.

(5) |
Using
the photos of 茶髪/ルーズソックス from Deai, let the students express their opinion
about these styles. Have the students talk about fads among the young people
in their own culture.
| かっこいいと思います。かっこいいとは思いません。（理由）からです。 |
| 今、カナダでは、 がはやっています。 |
For 茶髪, the following article might help trigger a good discussion:

Let
students observe and discuss a current fashion trend in Japan, comparing
it to their own culture. You can observe the latest fashion to hit the
street in Japan at the following site.

(7) |
Viewing
the photos related to the Japanese Students' fashion
from the TJF Photo Contest,
students can learn about what Japanese students wear, how they groom
themselves, what sort of outfits they like or dislike, and what sort of thoughts
or consciousness they have about their appearance. Have the students compare
their own ways to those of the Japanese. Encourage the students to
send their comments or their photos to the website.

If
the class has some students with ethnic backgrounds that include the concept
of a national costume, ask them to introduce their costumes to the class.
Examples from other cultures will broaden the students' horizons in terms
of cultural diversity. |
