The Lesson
Part 1: Workshop of Radical Ideas (45 mins)
  1. Check in homework and have students begin work on their radical product lines.
  2. Divide the class into the original two teams: one to work on pockets for women, the other to work on handbags for men.
  3. Students within each group should present their ideas for radical solutions as well as any drawings they made at home. The group should then vote and pick the top idea to develop, or combine individuals’ ideas into one.
  4. For each idea, students will need to complete the following tasks by the end of the class session. Students should construct:
  5. The best way to do this may be for each team to divide into smaller groups (such as an advertising group, the creative/design group (to produce the drawings and the final outfit for presentation), and the writers (to write the vision).
Part 2: Fashion Show (15 mins)
  1. Each team will present their final product(s) by having their “model” walk down the runway! A member or members of each team will present their vision, the drawings, and the advertising message as well.
  2. Each team will judge the other team’s work and performance and offer feedback.
