On Google, search for different outfits. Pick ten pictures, then put them on a Google Slides presentation. For each outfit, describe four things you like or dislike about it, giving details like color, size, texture as reasons why you like or dislike it.

For this week's project, you will make a google slide presentation with 10 pictures of clothes from your dream closet using photos found on the internet. Each slide must include a description of the size (small, large), color, texture (soft, smooth, rough), and kind of clothing.

We will discuss the different ways to describe clothing on our zoom classes every day at 11:00. If you cannot make it to our zoom class please email me with any questions.

record an interview with a family member about what kind of clothing they like and dislike.
For example:
Do you like pants with pockets?
Yes, I do.
Do you like shoes with buckles?
No, I do not.
Then, compare these to their own likes and dislikes and write them down, too.
For example:
My mom likes pants with pockets. I like pants with pockets, too.
My dad does not like shoes with buckles. I like shoes with buckles.

Ask at least 10 questions about likes and dislikes. I will make myself available to answer questions thru zoom and Google Hangouts throughout the week.

Create a Google slide project with your clothing store - include five pictures of what the store will look like, and another five pictures of clothes you will sell. Include what your clothing store will be named and where it will be.

Then, write a skit about a customer and you asking about the clothes and prices.

email me at [email protected] with any questions
