Robyn, this is a fun and engaging project and I'm a boy =) Definitely allows students to consider how fashion reflects upon societal norms and how fashion gives people a sense of identity. Terrific powerpoints! Incorporates technology, higher-level thinking and creativity! -Alan

This is such a great idea for a unit. I love that you're using fashion as a means for discovering the history of the times. - Lindsay
