quality it is important to dress with dignity and be well groomed.
2. Discuss that the appropriateness of attire can change depending
on the situation (i.e. school, play, worship, family party)
3. Discuss the importance of grooming and appropriate personal presentation
in later life (i.e. high school, college, job interviews) |

C. Practice-
1. Go through step-by-step detail of how to properly bath (shower/bath);
comb hair; brush teeth and wash hands.
2. Present pictures that demonstrate proper personal presentation
for different occasions that the students can relate to (i.e. school,
play, worship, out to dinner)
3. Give time for a question and answer portion regarding the grooming
practices and outfit explanations. |

D. Independent Practice-
1. Break into groups of four and have each group perform a dramatic
presentation highlighting how they would teach another person how
to properly to the following: bathe, brush teeth, wash hands and comb
hair. Each group takes one subject.
2. Distribute a picture to each student and ask the student to determine
what situation the individual is dressed for and why (i.e. person
is wearing sneakers and a T-shirt they may be at the park). Have the
students discuss their reasoning with a neighbor and ask any students
who disagreed with a neighbor to share the pictures and explain.

E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-
1. If pictures are unavailable consider having the students draw
their own version of a well groomed/appropriately dressed person
2. If materials for drawing are not available use magazines and have
students point out individuals

F. Checking for understanding-
1. Take note of dramatic presentations. Are the students taking
the activity seriously? If not, revisit the picture of the unkempt
individual and the students initial opinions of the person.
2. Address any disagreements regarding the photo activity. Why did
one student think an individual could have been going to worship and
another out to dinner? Explain that certain attire can be appropriate
for more than one scenario but address and explain any disparities
(i.e. worship attire being appropriate for the playground).
3. Each student is able to grasp why grooming and personal presentation
are important |
| |
|
|
G. Closure-
1. Ask if any students have questions.
2. Discuss ways of using common wardrobe pieces to put together appropriate
outfits that were discussed. (I.e. wearing school uniform slacks out
to dinner with a nice shirt).
3. Leave the students with resources of where to find near by salvation
armies and affordable places to purchase clothes (as well as donating
clothes that no longer fit!). |

7. Evaluation-
|
1. Were the students able to complete the activities with maturity
and understanding? Is this subject matter appropriate for 3rd graders?
2. Were the activities too time consuming? Did they not take up enough
time?
3. What was engaging for the students, what wasn't? |
