Fashion statements
Jo Budden, British Council, Spain This is a staged discussion activity which focuses on students' personal opinions of style and fashion. This activity was originally published as part of a lesson plan on individual style. The activity first appeared on the Language Assistant website. The rest of the plan can be found here: http://www.britishcouncil.org/languageassistant-individual-style.htm Procedure - Before doing this activity, give your students some statements on the board and ask them if they agree or disagree.
- Here are some example statements you can use:
Work in pairs and discuss whether you agree or disagree with these statements. - What you wear says a lot about your personality.
- I spend a lot of time getting dressed in the morning.
- I love buying new clothes.
- I really don't care about what I wear.
- Comfort is the most important thing when choosing new clothes or shoes.
- I hate having the same clothes as my friends.
- It's important to me to look different to my friends.
- I love fashion magazines.
- It's important for me to be fashionable.
- Second hand clothes can be cool.
| - Then ask them how much they agree or disagree with it. Draw a line on the board like this and fill in the space along the line with other expressions to express degrees of agreement.
- In the middle you can have 憂either agree, nor disagree' etc.
Totally disagree -------------------------------------------------- Completely agree - Then put students in pairs or small groups to discuss to what extent they agree with the statements.
