Fabric of History Curriculum

The curriculum builds on students' interest in clothing and fashion statements by helping them develop a framework of important dates and events in U.S. history through an exploration of clothing and style in the years 1600-1980. The curriculum includes timelines, pictures, readings, formal and informal writing assignments, multiple choice practice, and suggestions for interpreting and synthesizing new information through visual, kinesthetic, and interpersonal activities.
