Class-Fashion Design

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:

• How have the fashion industry’s labor practices changed in the United States and elsewhere?

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

• Why is it important for the fashion industry to carefully follow OSHA’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

• How has the fashion industry changed its environmental practices over the years?

• What part does recycling play in protecting the environment?

• What can people do to recycle clothing?

• How can fashion industry professionals encourage the public to engage in clothing recycle programs?

Step 3: Organize Your Ideas

You’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 4: Present Your Findings

Now is your time to shine. Practice your formal presentation a few times, and then record yourself giving the presentation. If you need to, look up technical terms to be sure you are using them correctly. Speak clearly and distinctly. Remember what you have learned about public relations, and do your best to represent your family, classroom, school, or neighborhood.
