This activity was originally published as part of a lesson plan on individual style.
Procedure
- Before doing this activity, give your students some statements on the board and ask them if they agree or disagree.
Here are some example statements you can use:
Work in pairs and discuss whether you agree or disagree with these statements.
- What you wear says a lot about your personality.
- I spend a lot of time getting dressed in the morning.
- I love buying new clothes.
- I really don't care about what I wear.
- Comfort is the most important thing when choosing new clothes or shoes.
- I hate having the same clothes as my friends.
- It's important to me to look different to my friends.
- I love fashion magazines.
- It's important for me to be fashionable.
- Second hand clothes can be cool.
- Then ask them how much they agree or disagree with it. Draw a line on the board like this and fill in the space along the line with other expressions to express degrees of agreement.
- In the middle you can have ‘neither agree, nor disagree' etc.
Totally disagree -------------------------------------------------- Completely agree
- Then put students in pairs or small groups to discuss to what extent they agree with the statements.
