42 12 Ideas for Teachers and Educational Assistants Take your students to the cloakroom to see the variety of clothing. Discuss differences in colour, shape, size, texture and use. How many jackets have hoods, zippers, buttons or pockets? How many kinds of footwear do you see? (boots, running shoes, slippers, socks, sandals) Take your students around the school to see what people are wearing. (other students, caretakers, secretary, principal, helpers) Discuss, draw, cut and paste, label and display. Help your students to trace a life-size drawing of themselves, then cut it out. Add labels or a story. Return to pages 4 to 7 with your students and have them compare their pictures. Talk about how they are alike and how they are different. Think about making a display/collage using photocopies of everyone s picture collections from these pages. Plan a graph or a chart based on clothing accessories your students wear. Depending on your students language abilities, they can graph numbers, colours, sizes and patterns. Here are some ideas: belts, baseball caps, headbands, backpacks, bows, watches, scarves, jewellery. Bring and brag. Send home the classroom or school Polaroid camera. Students can take pictures or be photographed in a variety of clothing, for example, night clothes, play clothes, party clothes.
