Step 5:

Using a word processor on your computer, write a short report (200-400 words) about the clothing worn by a social group, clique, or individual that you find interesting in the present time in the place you live.  How does this group or individual use clothing to

  • celebrate social/religious occasions?
  • visibly identify themselves with a group?
  • show status within their group?
  • attract persons of one’s gender preference?
  • express individual taste?

Save a disk copy of the text for your records.  Then use your mouse to highlight the text and "copy" the text.  When you have done so, go back to the Class Message Board, and "paste" the text into a message to the group.  Read the messages of some other group members, and post comments on at least one other person's report.
