Let’s take a moment to look at some visuals of her artwork and her iconic style. [Project visuals on the screen].
Can anyone tell me what stands out to you about Frida's style or art?"
[Facilitate responses and engage students, ensuring they feel comfortable sharing their thoughts.]
"Great insights, everyone! Now, let’s take this further by building our vocabulary related to art and fashion. Here are some key terms we’ll be using today. [Distribute vocabulary handouts].
I want you to look through these words, and let’s have a brief discussion about what some of these terms mean. Which words do you think are important when describing Kahlo’s art or style? Can anyone give an example of how one of these terms might apply to her work?"
[Guide the discussion, encouraging students to connect vocabulary with the visuals they've seen.]
"Now that we have our vocabulary set, let’s work in small groups! I will divide you into groups and assign each group a different aspect of Frida Kahlo’s influence: her art, her fashion choices, her personal life, and her cultural background.
Take about 10 minutes to discuss within your group what you think is the most significant aspect of Kahlo’s influence. Why does it matter? Remember to take notes because you’ll be sharing your findings with the class."

I would like you to fill out these cards with the key points and ideas discussed within your group. Think about what was most interesting and important about Frida Kahlo’s influence in relation to your assigned topic. You have 5 minutes for this."
[Encourage focus and provide reminders about the importance of summarizing key ideas effectively.]
"Alright, let’s take a few minutes to share some of the highlights from your discussions. I will randomly collect the cards, but feel free to also share your points aloud!
What did you learn? What stood out to you from your group’s discussion?
[Collect cards as students share, and listen for any misconceptions or particularly interesting insights to address.]
"Now, I have a special treat for you! I’m going to show you a short video clip about Frida Kahlo’s life and her unique sense of fashion. Pay close attention, as we will have a discussion afterward."

"Now that we’ve watched the clip, what are your thoughts? Did anything surprise you? What aspects of her fashion stood out to you after seeing her in motion?"
[Facilitate a discussion, encouraging students to relate the video to what they've previously learned.]
"Before we wrap up today, I have your homework assignment. I would like you to reflect on today's lesson and write a short paragraph about how Frida Kahlo’s cultural identity influenced her art and fashion.
Please focus on at least one specific example from what we discussed today or from the video. Remember, this is a chance for you to express your understanding and personal connection to the topic.
I’ll provide you with clear guidelines on how to submit this. Your reflection is due next class. Any questions?"
[Clarify any doubts students may have about the assignment before concluding the lesson.]
"Thank you for your wonderful participation today! To wrap up, Frida Kahlo is an inspiring figure not only in art but also in fashion, showing how our cultural identities shape our creativity.
