December 4, 2009

Class Work
1. Finish presentations
2. Submit notes for two extra points
3. Question: Was there ever a time when what you wore changed the way others looked at you and reacted to you? Did that clothing change the way you felt about yourself?

Homework
1. Read "Identity Reduced to a Burka" p. 124+ and "Hidden in Plain Sight" p. 129+. Be ready to discuss these on Monday.

Think about it: To what extent does what we wear create who we are?
2. Remember a time when a clothing code was imposed on you- for school, work, or for a social event withing your peer group or family. Describe how you felt about the requirement and whether you rebelled or conformed. Write about this in a brief narrative - one page - tell the story.

or

3. Write a descriptive account of a time when your choice of clothing created attention that you did not intend to draw. (One page - tell the story.)


Congratulations on the excellent presentations!
