You will create a teaching tool, a powerpoint describing the influences of the fashion of the time period . 

Step 1:  Search on the internet or in books for information on your time period.  Make sure that you record the address of the websites you view so that you can include them in your work cited.

You may use the attached links to get started but I want you to branch out and use other resources too.
