Clothing and Fashion |
| Overview: | |||
| Students think about fashion styles from different time periods and cultures, and realize that the meaning of clothing changes from era to era, culture to culture, and even within a single culture. They discuss the criteria for choosing appropriate fashion for certain occasions. | |||

| Students
list the points that are important to consider when they select an
outfit for a certain occasion. They discuss why fashion sometimes seems
so ridiculous, such as outdated fashion, fashion from other generations,
and fashion in other cultures.
The teacher asks the students if their parents agree with their choice of clothing. The students discuss the generation gap in perspectives and explore the differences in values and priorities between their parents and themselves. The teacher leads the discussion to make the students aware that
1) the meaning of fashion depends on its context, and 2) the values
for fashion are related to the issue of self-identity, so they vary
subjectively. |
