Each group will be given a time period and a list of vocabulary words to find. Find a picture of the fashion and place it in the PowerPoint with a brief explanation.

24. Remember – include accurate information from reliable, verified sources. Don’t use Halloween warehouses, etc. Include a picture of the costume piece on each slide so we can SEE it. Try not to overload your slides with too much text (writing); instead make a new slide for each piece of information. Use bullet points & key words, rather than complete sentences.
