Stage 3 - Learning Plan

What learning experiences and instruction will enable students to achieve the desired results? There will be modeling in each activity, scaffolded writing exercises, and ongoing self, teacher, and peer assessment. Students will also learn to see examples of best practices modeled in their own communities when they get the chance to visit a real store with recycled garments. They will be able to transfer this experience to their own projects. The activities collectively provide multiple entry-points for the culminating, with both theoretical and tactile scaffolding, and differentiated instruction. A combination of skillbuilding, inquiry, and diverse forms of communication ensures that students will find their mode of expression and be able to fully participate and succeed. How will the design help the students know where the unit is going and what is expected? Through teacher modeling and through a field trip, students will get a better understanding on what is expected and how to accomplish these expectations. The rubric will clearly outline the expectations and will be given to students early on in the unit. By researching and engaging with to problems and possible solutions of the industry, students will understand the context of the skills they are developing and will be motivated to create change. Completed samples available and checklist of the techniques that will be learnt will be available throughout the unit. On-going assessment as learning will ensure that students are aware of the expectations and their progress. Help the teacher know where the students are coming from (prior knowledge, interests)? There are many opportunities for assessment for learning throughout each activity. Research presentation, group work, teacher observation, will inform teacher of students level of awareness, connection with issues, and motivation to affect change. With the sketchbooks, advance students will become apparent to the teacher, therefore, the teacher will know at what level each student is beginning this activity. The lesson touching on what is mending and why do it? will allow teacher to assess students experience with it. Hook all students and hold their interest? Lesson 1 is a period-long minds-on for the unit. In this lesson, students begin to understand their personal implication in fashion injustice. By considering an article of clothing that the students are wearing at that moment, they are immediately and personally connected to the issue under discussion.

They are not left guilt-ridden and impotent, however. Their interest is sustained with the opportunity to apply their new-found understanding to concrete activities that have a powerful social impact. On the field trip, they are able to see this change in action beyond the classroom. There is also an ample chance for creative expression throughout the unit and within the parameters of the assignments. Equip students, help them experience the key ideas and explore the issues? Once students have recognized their personal connection to the problematic issues of the fashion industry, they will have the opportunity to role play and debate, exploring the diverse perspectives of other stakeholders within the system. This exercise develops a sense of personal accountability and builds communication skills. Metacognition meets social justice even as they are building concrete skills as students are asked to question whether mending skills are necessary in an age of cheap consumption. The sketchbook component will allow more visual learners to communicate the evolution of ideas as well. Provide opportunities to rethink and revise their understandings and work? In the begin of the unit, students are asked to complete a peer and self assessment of their consumer habits and values. These are recorded and be referenced for ongoing reconsideration throughout the unit. The tenants of environmentally friendly fashion are introduced in the beginning and referred to constantly throughout the unit as understanding deepens. As well as reflection on ideas, there is much opportunity to revise technique during the activities. After many consultations with the teacher, students will be able to update, revise and add to their sketchbook portfolio. This activity is a learning process and a visualization of student growth. Allow students to evaluate their work and its implications? Since the sketchbook is a process of improvement and growth, students will be able to evaluate their earlier works to their later ones. Through student sketchbook sharing, they will be able to see more and less advance work and be able to learn from others. Students will be monitoring their own progress through the technique checklist and will bring their samples to the teacher when they feel it is completed The nature of a fashion lab will encourage peer-evaluation/collaboration through the process of each demo Be tailored (personalized) to the different needs, interests and abilities of learners? In the research component, students choose an issue and company that they own or admire. A combination of written, oral, and visual communication is present in almost every aspect of the activity. Group and individual work as well varied media are always employed to create diverse learning environments. The sketchbook activity is a work at your own level activity, using as much or as little design creativity as necessary and as needed. Students of all abilities will be able to work on this

activity and the less advance students will not be penalized. Each student will strive and be assessed based on their improvements. Students will have a choice on difficulty (ex complete 10 of 15 items on the checklist) and will be able to work on their own garments if they would like. While all students will complete their own checklist, they can go step-by-step with a classmate or work independently. Be organized to maximize initial and sustained engagement as well as effective learning? Participatory transmission of information role play, peer interviews, sketching, and presentation will be emphasized to engage students and allow for peer assessment. A transformative and social action approach will motivate and empower students to stay engaged in knowledge and skill building as they seek answers to essential questions. Guidelines will always be clearly explained in the form of checklists, exemplars, and a rubric, while allowing for the creative and artistic freedom that garner studentss investment in their work. Students can then choose techniques based on their personal views on mending (choose functional vs. decorative techniques, fixing techniques vs. constructing from scratch techniques). Huge range of difficulty levels to keep all skill-levels engaged. Family involvement (sharing of knowledge, fixing family members clothing) will be encouraged.

2. Differentiation and Inclusive Practice This unit focuses on creativity, innovatory and individuality. Although the activities in the course are structured and well outlined, they are organized in such a way that each student has the freedom to explore their creative outlets and discover their own interests. The first activity has students researching a company of their choice. There will be days where students will be able to work on their project in class with the help of the teacher. Students will all be ready to hand in their research project because, the way these lessons are organized, each student is given time, resources and help from the teacher and from their peers to complete their activity. For the second, third and culminating activity, students will be taking clothing from home, mending them and changing them. The students choose these items of clothing, and they can opt to bring in items that need more attention or items that suit their skill level. Finally, for activity number four, students will design sketches. All students, despite artistic background, will have lessons on sketching. Students will also be meeting the teacher, one-on-one, to discuss design goals and project aim. This will allow students ample time to ask all necessary questions and to be given feedback on their current work. Through classes being designated work periods for projects, choices being given to degree of difficulty of the projects to constant one-on-one interactions with the teacher and feedback from peers, this unit differentiates for each students interest, readiness and leaning profile. Teaching, learning and assessment will be differentiated across the unit. Students will be able to choose the product they would like to complete in most of the units activities. Each will have specific criteria that needs to be met and suggestions of products that could meet the criteria will be provided. For example in activity 3 students are asked to alter an existing garment into something new, like an oversized t-shirt into a tank top or turn jeans into a skirt. The teacher is able to provide ideas and assist

students in choosing product ideas that will appropriately challenge their skill levels. Throughout the unit there will be class work time where the teacher can help students through the process. Since many students will have chosen different products, this time will be valuable for the teacher to circulate and differentiate her help. For each activity students will be told a suggested process schedule but it will be up to them to complete the activities at their own pace. The content of each activity will be taught in a variety of ways in order to differentiate among learning styles. There will be direct teaching, modelling of techniques, self-learning and collaborative peer learning. Often the students will be given the option to work alone or in pairs and they will be encouraged to assist each other throughout the unit. The activities will include group work, reflections, visual examples, individual research, sketchbooks, modelling and practicing in order to meet a number of learning styles. The classroom environment will be continuously changing since students will have opportunities to learn in a number of ways. In-seat independent work will be balanced with dynamic studio time or conversational elbow partner time. Students will be able to choose when and how often they work collaboratively, based on their preferences. There will also be a field trip during the fourth activity in order to get students out of the classroom and looking at outside sources of inspiration. This unit begins with whole-systems look at the present-day fashion industry. It aligns with Banks Transformative Approach as it analyzes an issue from multiple perspectives, introducing the complex interactions between the economy, environment, producers, and consumers. We then move to the Decision-Making and Social Action Approach as students learn skills and techniques to recycle their own clothing. Rather than simply studying eco-friendly designers (who are often prohibitively expensive), students use these designers for inspiration when re-thinking their own wardrobes. They are given the opportunity to develop the practical skills which enable them to act upon their new understanding of fashion. They are empowered to affect change in their consumption patterns and to sustain an ethical engagement with fashion throughout their lives. 3. Unit Rationale and Culminating Activity Overview Unit Rationale This is the forth unit and should appear in the latter half of the course. Students should already be familiar with the design process, the historical evolution of clothing, and have been introduced to manufacturing, careers, restrictions, and labeling. Here students will analyze the impacts of various industry practices. They will also build on their firm foundation in the basics of sewing to become adept at altering and building new creations. The social action-approach of the culminating activity is scaffolded by integrating knowledge, understanding, inquiry, and application. For example, students are provided with diverse research and resource-sharing opportunities: they use their sketch books, presentation, discussion, and role play to process and comprehend the complexities of the fashion industry. They are then able to apply their knowledge to the revision and recreation of their wardrobes. By using students own wardrobes as the entry-point for

inquiry and as a resource in application, this unit creates an immediate and intimate connection between the curriculum and the student. This unit also aligns with Ontario Ministry of Educations policy framework for environmental education, Acting Today, Shaping Tomorrow (2009) which states that, environmental education is education about the environment, for the environment, and in the environment (4). The unit raises awareness about the environmental issues in fashion, encourages students to find resources in their environment, and recycles these items for the environment. The focus on the environment aligns with trends in the fashion industry of increasing corporate and consumer responsibility. It familiarizes students with a spectrum of the business, from small local boutiques to NAFTA and Walmart. An understanding of the political economy of fashion will be an asset for students as they seek to make responsible career choices that are right for them and their communities. Culminating Activity Overview In the final culminating activity, Remix it! students will utilize the skills and techniques learned over the course of the unit and apply them in the creation of a new, remixed garment or item. Students will create a fashionable and eco-friendly garment/item that is repurposed from existing, second hand or donated clothing items only. Students will have the opportunity to select and cater their final culminating activity to suit their designer needs while using the field trip to Preloved and the drawings in their Designer Sketchbook in Activity 4, for inspiration. The purpose of this activity is to have students apply the skills they learned throughout the units activities and to integrate them into one final, designer creation. By doing so, students will understand how to utilize their sewing, mending, and alteration skills and apply them to creating their own clothes or fashion items. This activity reinforces the unit objective of giving students the skills and the motivation to reclaim and repurpose their own clothing from their existing wardrobe. Based on the units' activities, students will understand how and why their consumer choices can have a negative impact on the environment. This culminating activity exemplifies how we can make a positive difference in the world by being creative in learning how to work with the materials and clothing we currently have. As a result of this activity, students will see how the accumulation of their skills can be used in conjunction with one another to make something truly amazing and one-of-a-kind. Students will have the knowledge and the motivation to apply these skills to create something new out of something old regularly in the future.

Culminating Activity - Student Handout #1

Remix it! Culminating Activity Description In this Remix it! culminating activity, you will incorporate the skills and techniques youve learned over the course of the unit to create an imaginative and inspirational garment that is both fashionable and eco-friendly. Using our field trip to Preloved as inspiration, you will create a new and repurposed garment from existing items/articles of clothing. Throughout this unit we learned a variety of skills and problem-solving techniques. We have touched on basic sewing, mending, clothing repairation, structural alterations and superficial modifications in many of our assignments. In each activity so far, we have altered our clothing in some way to fit our individual needs. For this assignment, you will Remix your clothing. That means, you will use a minimum of 2 clothing items to transform your clothing into something new, giving your old clothing a new purpose. You may choose from the approved list of remixed projects or you can come up with your own. In either case, you must discuss your final project idea with me before you begin working. Again, we are transforming our clothing into something new, we are going beyond the alterations and the modifcations we have done in the past. Please see the Remix it! Criteria Checklist for the complete list of project requirements. This is your opportunity to create something truly amazing and one-of-a-kind!

6. Learning Activities
Activity #1: Fashion Crimes Instructional Focus: Current Events Time: 375 minutes (five 75 minute classes) Description: The essential question, How do our consumer choices affect the world? is addressed in the first activity of the unit Fashion and the Environment. Students do an assessment of their consumer values and this is used as a comparison point to chart the evolution of their knowledge and understanding over the course of the activity. Once they have troubled the globalized fashion industry through role play, debate, discussion, and reflection, they are given two periods in the computer lab. There they research current events about the ethical dilemmas facing a brand or clothing article of their choice. Then they investigate a designer who models superior social and environmental practices. This process is accompanied by a research guide handout facilitating student inquiry and helping them choose and credit reputable online resources.The computer lab days are staggered with one period devoted to resource sharing where students present their findings. Finally they are asked to communicate, through collage or sketch, the exemplary environmental and social practices they discovered. The resulting sketch will include labels identifying the green themes evident in the designers work. As an introduction, this activity is meant to hook students onto the unit by creating a personal connection to the curriculum and contextualizing within world issues the skills they are will learn in subsequent activities. An assessment of their own wardrobes encourages an immediate and intimate connection of students to the subject matter. A focus on internet research rather than a text book ensures that the issues and designers are current. It also provides differentiation as students can choose to analyze articles, videos, radio news, or images. The introduction of the sketch book serves as scaffolding for future activities and accommodates the visual learners in this more theoretical and abstract portion of the unit. Strand(s) and Expectations: Strand(s): Research and Inquiry Skills Design,Technology and Creative Expression Overall Expectations: Identify the agencies and regulations that influence the production and labeling of apparel and textiles Explain the role of the environment in relation to the textile industry, and describe how the textile industry affects the environment Use appropriate social science research methods in the investigation of topics related to fashion, clothing, and textiles Use a variety of print and electronic sources and telecommunications tools in conducting research Communicate the results of their inquiries effectively Specific Expectations: identify possible hazards related to occupations in textile production or fashion, and the protections available to workers in these fields evaluate the impact on Canadian society of issues relating to the apparel industry, such as the redistribution of jobs brought about by computerization and new technologies, the exploitation of workers both in Canada and abroad, the role of unions in the garment industry, and the hiring of skilled and unskilled immigrant labour describe the environmental impact of the use and disposal of care products demonstrate an understanding of the research methods used in the study of fashion evaluate information to determine its validity and reliability;

Activity #4: Field Trip and Designer Sketchbook Instructional Focus: ELL & Community Resources Time: 300 minutes (four 75 minute classes) Description: This activity promotes creativity and uses a hands-on approach. Students have been learning throughout this unit about the reasons why mending, repurposing and altering garments is a useful skill to have in life. It also increases their knowledge about the world and about being aware of the clothes they wear. Finally, these activities scaffold student knowledge and understanding of the culminating activity. This is the final activity before the culminating one, and is another scaffolding block to prepare students for their final unit task. In this activity, students will learn the art of sketching and of keeping a scrapbook as a continuous portfolio of ideas. Students will learn how to sketch and then adapt this learning to their own styles. They will also get an authentic experience of going to a clothing store where the designs are all centered on repurposed clothing. Students will reflect on their experience at the store by sketching their ideas in their personalized sketchbooks. Ultimately, throughout this activity, students will be assessed on their sketchbook, which encompasses For and As learning. Strand(s) and Expectations: Strand(s): Research and Inquiry Skills Design, Technology and Creative Expression Overall Expectations: Demonstrate an understanding of how elements and principles of design are used in creating fashion products. Describe how creative expression is accommodated in the home sewing and craft industries Use a variety of print and electronic sources and telecommunications tools in conducting research. Specific Expectations: Demonstrate an understanding of concepts and terms related to the elements of fabric and fashion design (colour, line, form, texture, etc) and the principles of design (harmony, rhythm, proportion, balance). Demonstrate an understanding of the elements and principles of design that contribute to creating visual illusions in fashion (e.g., highlighting particular physical attributes) Demonstrate an understanding of the research methods used in the study of fashion (e.g., personal observation, interview, survey). Locate and access primary sources (e.g., interviews with designers and fashion forecasters) and secondary sources (e.g., magazine articles, TV programs) of information relating to fashion. Learning Goals (Day 1) Receive a better understanding on how to sketch the human body and sketch designs. (Day 2) Create own designs sketches so as to increase knowledge on how to construct and how to start the culminating activity. Assessment/Success Criteria Achievement Chart Category (KICA): (Day 1) Use knowledge and understanding by learning a new technique and understanding how to sketch designs. (K) (Day 2) Apply new knowledge to start sketching own ideas in sketchbook. (A)

 (Day 3) Field trip to Preloved (clothing store selling repurposed clothing from reclaimed vintage fabrics). Understand how to create a new garment out of old ones Sketch ideas on the spot (Day 4) One-on-one meetings with teacher will increase student learning and improved future sketches. Learn ways to create culminating activity through the original sketches.

(Day 3) Through new knowledge and understanding, use thinking and inquiry to sketch designs seen in Preloved store that is inspiring, or create new designs based on ones previously seen. This is a way to communicate own designs, via the sketchbook (I/A/C) (Day 4) Communication with the teacher on sketches up until now will increase knowledge and understanding of final task and might trigger more thinking and inquiry to create new and improved sketches. (C/K/I)

Planning Notes: Teacher must provide all students with a sketchbook. This can be done by using G.O.O.S. paper (good on one side) and stapling sheets together. If the school has a budget, then the teacher could go to Dollarama and get sketchbooks already bound and ready to go. The teacher must also know how to sketch or at least have taken a sketching class to be able to teach it to his/her students. However, the use of a video to teach students will help the teacher through this lesson. Teacher must have interesting handouts and great media footage to motivate students in learning to sketch (e.g., bring in famous designer sketches for class) Prior Knowledge Required: If they have an art background, this is a plus, but not requirement for this activity Knowledge of what clothing looks like on the body Knowledge of realistic clothing fabrics for culminating activity creation (use of leather and heavy materials are not suitable for school sewing machines.) *final sketches will reflect what students are intended to create for their culminating activity. Teaching/Learning Strategies (correspond the # to match the day for the activity ie. all # 1s correlate to day #1 and match the learning goals on the previous page, etc. ) Minds On 1. Students will all get a magazine to look through and cut out inspiration. This could be what they like, what they would like to buy, etc. These cutouts will be pasted on the first page of their sketchbook with the title Inspiration This will start guiding students on ideas for their sketches. 2. Students will be paired with a partner and they will discuss their homework/sketch. Then whey will talk about how they will want to dress their figure. Teacher will have a mound of different scraps of fabric and students will use this as inspiration and past the scraps on their new sketch. Assessment as/for/of Learning strategies and tools used Assessment As and For learning Team Work Individual work Direct Teaching Graffiti/Collage Hands-on Activity Peer and Self Assessment

Action 1. Students will watch a video called Basic Standing Figure Tutorial: Fashion Design Drawing Lesson #1. This is a 7 min video but because it goes very fast, I will pause and start the video, therefore, this should take 30 mins to complete the sketch. Students will then add clothes to their sketches and use the magazines again to see where a shirt falls etc 2. This is a work period where students will work independently or with a partner on creating more sketches and outfits. Teacher will also bring in resources from real designer sketches to show students how different each designer is, artistically and creatively. 3. This is the fieldtrip day. Students will have to bring their sketchbooks to Preloved clothing store. They will learn about building one item from two or more pieces of clothing. They will get the chance to keep sketching and add ideas to their sketchbook. 4. Students will begin the class by sketching their ideas for the culminating activity. The teacher will then circulate and spend 5 minutes with each student to discuss his or her final sketch and help if needed. Consolidation 1. To finish the lesson, students will get the link to the video and are required to create another basic standing figure on their own at home for homework. 2.Kinesthetic and Gallery Activity. For the final 10 min of class, students will open their sketchbooks to the page they want to share and leave their sketchbooks on their table. The class will circulate to their peers desks and hopefully become inspired by other peoples work. 3. Back in class, students will be reminded to think about their culminating activity and to be prepared to sketch their ideas in the next class. The teacher will also let students know that, although there are many used clothing in class, if students are now inspired to create something they have in mind, to bring these items in next class.

Drawing and problem-solving in their sketchbooks

Accommodations If students need more time to complete sketches, they will have opportunities to work on it at home, get an extension and/or to work on it with the teacher at lunch and after school. If students have difficulty sketching a figure, they can use a cutout of the human body (provided by the teacher), pasted in their sketchbook, and sketch their designs over it. *As long as they have tried the tutorial in the first class. If students do not have access to the Internet at home, teacher will be available at lunch and after school to show the tutorial video again to help these students complete the homework.
