Clothing of the nineteenth century and its reflection of the middle class ideals of how men and women should look is the focus of this publication. Through a series of activities, students are encouraged to think about the interaction of clothing and society, both past and present. Worksheets accompany lessons: "A Change of Clothes" and "Clothing Trends." The third lesson plan has students identifying elements of modern clothing and evaluating the relationship between clothing and self-identity with a Take Home Page, "Personal Clothing Inventory," given in English and Spanish. The document concludes with suggested "Resources." (MM)
