SEL Project: Students Create a Lesson
By Erin Cusumano
This project encourages students to choose an SEL topic of their own interest and create a presentation and activity as if they were delivering a lesson on it.
This project allows students to take the format of SEL lessons they've learned from and practice using it themselves to find, understand, and share information. This benefits individual students, as they can explore information of interest, and allows the educator to gauge what topics their students are curious about for future lessons.
If you have students present their lessons they also get practice talking about SEL topics and respectfully listening to peers do the same. I find this to be a great end of year project to wrap up SEL learning.
With presentations this project can be made to take up a whole week of SEL instruction (based on a 30-45 minute period a day). Day 1 students can hand in their topic and activity idea for teacher feedback, days 2-3 students can create the material, and day 4-5 students can present. Examples are simple for clarity and to suit a range of students, but expectations can be adjusted based on grade-level. This project includes a packet with clear instructions (with examples) and space for students to write their chosen topic and activity, an example slideshow, and two example activities that accompany the slideshow.

Fashion History Magazine Project
By Mandy LaCour
This is a Fashion History Magazine Project that is perfect for high school students in any class that covers fashion history. This is a great alternative option to the regular research paper assignment. This project gives students more creativity to create and design using a variety of magazine components. They are instructed to create a magazine article, sketch fashion garments, create a mood board as well as design a magazine advertisement for a product from their time period. This product also includes a rubric for students.
Fashion Design Final Project Choices
By Mandy LaCour
This project is great for your fashion design students in your entry level class. I usually give my students 10 class days to complete whatever choice they would like to work on from the list. Feel free to give your students whatever timeline fits your lesson plan. I like giving the students choices in case there are students who would like to sketch instead of sewing. No matter what project they choose they are still required to type a paper that discusses the elements and principles of design. Each project has a different set of elements and principles of design that are required for the paper since sometimes it is easier to include certain ones in sewing projects versus sketches.
Prior Knowledge needed:
This project assumes that your class has covered the elements and principles of design but if you have not then feel free to omit that part of the project.
This download includes a rubric as well.
By Mandy LaCour
This is a great activity for students to do at the beginning of your Fashion Designer Unit. I like to use it as the first step in my Fashion Designer Research Project.

There is a list of construction requirements listed that my students must include in their various garments.
