SECTION 6 - Solutions Carbon and Fast-Fashion,P2 Educators will need to decide how long the learners will have to complete the homework. ASSESSMENT(PART 1) - HOMEWORK: Learners choose: 1. To design a garment or to alter an existing garment. 2. Write a paper with at least 3 high-quality sources of data (more is encouraged), on the subject of Fast-fashion and the Greenhouse e昀昀ect. 3. Write a business plan using a peer-to-peer business model and principles to increase the lifecycle of the garment (resale, swap or barter, or rental are examples). This document must also provide at least 3 or more data resources. An excellent place to start would be to look at the resource list below. ASSESSMENT (PART 2) - PRESENTATION: 1. Learners who alter or create garments share their design documents and/or pattern pieces, as well as the completed garment with the class (if the learner has had outside help constructing the garment, they should be clear about that) and talk about what they have learned (e.g. to use a sewing machine, or sew by hand.) The learner hangs tags on their garment guesstimating how much greenhouse gas their project generated, and how much greenhouse gas they prevented being generated by reuse or repurposing. 2. Learners who write papers give a 5-minute talk to their peers about Fast-fashion and the Greenhouse e昀昀ect (points here are for research and suggesting inventive solutions). 3. Learners who create a business plan pitch their idea to their classmates and provide documentation that traditionally is used by entrepreneurs such as a statement of the problem you’re solving, your partners, how much you will need to get your business up and running, how you plan on letting consumers know you exist.
