The instructor will then guide them through the process of identifying types of fashion shows and their literal definitions through guided practice, independent processing, and team building. Students will complete the lesson by explaining their interpretation of one type of fashion show.

Group Work
Preparation:
Making Flash Cards:
Flash Card Tag Game:
Put two equal stacks of flash cards (the ones you made - mix them up) on a desk in the front of the room. Divide the students into two groups. Ask the students to form two single file lines facing the desk. The first student in each line should be about 10 feet from the desk. One team will go at a time. Coin toss to find out which team will go first.
When play starts, the first person in line races to the desk, takes the first card in his or her pile, displays the card to the team, announces the answer, places the card in a discard pile, and then races to tag the next person in line. If the student does not know the answer, he or she may ask the team. The player with the card is the only one that can announce the answer. If the player does not know the answer or the wrong answer is announced, he or she puts the card on the bottom of the pile and selects the next card. This student keeps selecting cards until he or she knows the answer to one or until five cards have been selected; the player than races to tag the next person in line. The first team to correctly answer all the fashion show terms correctly wins. Each player on the winning team gets a chocolate kiss.
After the game is complete, the flash cards can be left with the instructor. the instructor should give a set of flash cards to the students still having difficulty to study independently at home.
Check Understanding
As the students are playing the Flash Card Tag game, recognize the accuracy and speed at which they are matching the definition and the terms.
If needed, play the tag game again. Give the students 15 minutes to work together in their teams to practice reciting the definitions of the terms.
After the game is complete, the flash cards left with the instructor should be handed out to students still having difficulty so that they can study independently at home.
Formative Assessment
Instruct the students to answer the following question on a piece of paper and turn in to the instructor once complete.
