Fashion Dec 1 - 5

WOW - IT IS DECEMBER.....

Last week was a blur with the Junk to Funk Sale - it was a huge success!  We made almost $200 and lots of people got some great deals.

This week is busy too - Your portfolio is due Monday - you should have all your pages finished.  Follow the assignment sheet stapled inside the role folder.

Monday - Tuesday - Wednesday  : You will be deciding on your own "line" of clothing and designing it - putting into practice the elements and principles of design that you learned over the past couple of weeks

Thursday - Friday - we start learning about textiles  ...natural  and synthetic fibres,  (cotton, linen, polyester, etc)  ....and clothing care.

We also need to start thinking about your final evaluation....I will have the info sheet so you can organize a shopping trip to purchase fabric.

Fashion test info

Please note that the info for your test is also written on the front board in the classroom.

There are 15 multiple choice questions and the remainder are short answer questions (written on foolscap in complete sentences).  The test is out of 34 marks.

You will need to review the decades of fashion we looked at and remember the questions in the Kahoot review yesterday.
