How can one pair of jeans change the world?
How can one pair of jeans connect the whole world? This engaging, enquiry-based lesson introduces students to the global fashion industry and explores how clothing links countries through trade, manufacturing and transport. Students investigate the journey of a pair of jeans, discover how different countries contribute to their production, and develop a deeper understanding of globalisation through real-world examples.
The lesson includes a variety of interactive activities, including key word retrieval, prediction tasks, video analysis, map work and a fully scaffolded investigation into the global journey of a pair of jeans. Designed to encourage geographical thinking, students explain why clothing is produced in different countries and how the fashion industry demonstrates an increasingly interconnected world.
