Required Materials

ā€¢ Measuring tape or yardstick

ā€¢ Word processing software

Step 1: Choose a Location

Read all the steps of this activity before you begin it. In this unit, you have learned about the importance of barrier-free design. Now itā€™s time to find out how much of your world is barrier-free for people who have disabilities. Choose a location to test. This can be within your school, such as your classroom, student bathrooms, the cafeteria, the gym, or a stage. Another option might be a community center or your local library.

Step 2: Research Local Laws

Use the internet to find out which laws apply to public or private buildings in your community, state, region, or country. Find two or three measurements to test. For example, how wide must a doorway to a classroom be to accommodate a wheelchair? How large must a restroom stall be? Where must fire alarms or light switches be placed? What about drinking fountains or sinks?

Step 3: Measure and Record Your Results

Measure the doorway, sink height, or other factors that you have chosen. Record your results and compare them to legal requirements.

Step 4: Report Your Results

Create a short video to send to the building owner (if it is a privately owned building) or to a local government official (if it is a publicly owned building), Describe what you found. Explain why the regulation you chose is necessary. For instance, it doesnā€™t matter if a bathroom stall can accommodate a wheelchair if the only doorway to the bathroom is too narrow for the person to reach the stall. Using the informal presentation techniques you learned about in this unit, do your best to present your ideas in a professional way.

Step 1: Advances in Workplace Safety

When thinking about the industrial age, one of the first industries to begin using factories, machinery, and new technology was fashion. In fact, cotton mills were some of the first factories established in America. Smart inventors figured out how to create clothing on a much bigger scale than ever before. To do this, they required thousands of workers. This is where the need for labor protection came into play. Using what you learned in your text and research you conduct online, examine the following questions:

ā€¢ How have the fashion industryā€™s labor practices changed in the United States and elsewhere?

ā€¢ What safeguards do factories have in place now that were not present in the early 20th century?

ā€¢ Why is it important for the fashion industry to carefully follow OSHAā€™s rules?

Create a word document to record the answers you find. Then, leave your document open while you examine another area in which the fashion industry has blazed a trail.

Step 2: Taking Initiative to Protect the Earth

ā€¢ How has the fashion industry changed its environmental practices over the years?

ā€¢ What part does recycling play in protecting the environment?

ā€¢ What can people do to recycle clothing?

ā€¢ How can fashion industry professionals encourage the public to engage in clothing recycle programs?

Step 3: Organize Your Ideas

Youā€™ve learned about two very important ways the fashion industry has been the frontrunner for all industries and their practices. Think about what you researched and use your critical thinking skills to analyze the information.

Then, choose one of the subjects to report on. (Labor Laws or Environmental Issues) Review the advice on formal presentations that you received in this unit. Then write a presentation that explains the job that the fashion industry has done and why it is important. You can list bulleted items rather than writing complete paragraphs that include every word you want to say. You can handwrite on index cards or paper, or you can type into a word processing document or presentation software. If you wish, you can create a poster or other visual aid. Your teacher will review your notes and any visual aids you create, so be sure you use correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation.

Step 1: Start Seeking Trends

Thanks to the internet, many of the same tools that fashion forecasters have are at your disposal. Search the internet for recent fashion shows, which will indicate what is coming up next season. Look at recent fashion shows in major cities, such as New York and Los Angeles, to see where American fashion is headed. If you have recent print magazines that focus on fashion, you can use those as well. Notice the advertisements you see on the pages or as you scroll, and consider how those ads affect fashion trends. Think about where a particular look is in the fashion cycle. Is it edgy, trendy, popular, or a blast from the past?

Step 2: Search Based on Geography

Next, do some internet research on global trends. Look specifically at Paris fashion shows. You can also see what the major fashion magazines have on their websites in the European divisions. Fortunately, you donā€™t need to read French to know what is highlighted in French fashion. Take a few moments to check out Tokyo as well. If you happen to have recent French or Japanese fashion magazines, use those too.

Step 3: Focus on Celebrity Influencers

Finally, check celebrity gossip magazines or celebrity gossip websites to see what famous people are wearing around town and to formal events. Then look at Instagram and other social media to see what online influencers are emphasizing.

Step 4: Choose Two Trends

Based on your research, select two trends that you expect to see in American stores next year. Take notes to organize your thoughts.

Step 5: Create Your Fashion Forecast

Create a presentation that showcases the two trends. You can complete this using slideshow software, or you can use art supplies to make a poster or triptych that shows your results. If you prefer, you can use a hybrid method, with words in the slideshow software and visuals on a poster. Organize your presentation around these questions:

ā€¢ How would you describe these two trends?

ā€¢ Where have you seen them? Identify specific fashion publications or websites.

ā€¢ How do they compare with trends of the past and trends of today?

ā€¢ What makes you think North American manufacturers, buyers, stores, and customers will invest in them?

Step 6: Present Your Research and Analysis

Make your presentation to your classmates. Then discuss whether they share your belief that these trends will soon be coming to a store near you.
