The students will work in groups to prepare a fashion show inspired by different music genres, using old clothes from their own wardrobes that they no longer wear.
The intention is for students to develop creativity and design skills, understand the environmental impact of clothing choices, and learn to express musical and cultural identity through fashion.
Divide the class into groups of 3–5 students using the Competency Groups method.
Assign one music genre (rock, hip-hop, disco, country, or electronic) per group.
Within each group, students should decide on:
Each group must:
Each group creates a short presentation (1–2 minutes) during the fashion show, introducing their genre and describing their outfit. The model will walk the runway. Play short excerpts of music representing each genre during the presentation. Other group members may speak or perform to support the presentation (music, short act, or commentary).
The teacher (and optionally a small jury of teachers or students) will evaluate each performance.
