This poster is something I would hang up in my classroom during the Fashion Strategies section of the curriculum. Teaching teens about style, fashion houses, body shapes, and fads is fun, but it also has the potential to negatively increase an individual's self conciousness. The poster would be a reminder that we are what we believe we are and an invitation to think of ourselves in postive light. It would also be a sample of a project the students would do at the end of the unit. Objective six of the FACS curriculum prescribes a discuss of how fashion is a means of communication and expression of one's self. After teaching this unit, I would have students identify a personal style and explain what they think it communicates about them. They would create a collage or poster in Picasa to explain it to the class.
