Lesson Opening: The Evolution of Hair and Beauty

Introduction: A Journey Through Time and Style

Imagine stepping into a time machine that transports you to different eras, each with its own unique hairstyles and makeup trends. Today, we're embarking on an exciting journey that explores the fascinating evolution of hair and beauty through the ages. From ancient Egypt to the modern catwalks of London, we'll uncover how styles have changed and why they matter in our lives today.

Activity: Time Travel Magazine Covers

To kick off our lesson, I'm going to ask each of you to become a time traveller artist! You will design a magazine cover that showcases a specific decade from the last 100 years, highlighting the iconic hairstyles and makeup trends of that time. Here’s what to do:

  1. Choose a Decade: Pick a decade that interests you – it could be the roaring 20s, the fabulous 50s, or even the groovy 70s!

  2. Research: Conduct a bit of quick research (using books or tablets) to find popular hairstyles and makeup trends from your chosen decade. Consider what social influences (like music or fashion) might have affected those styles.

  3. Design Your Cover:

    • Title: Create a catchy title for your magazine. For example, "Hairstyles of the 80s: Big hair, Don't Care!"
    • Images: Draw or cut out pictures of popular hairstyles and makeup looks from that era.
    • Articles: Write catchy headlines for articles that could feature in your magazine, like “Top 5 Iconic Looks of the 60s”.

  4. Presentation: Once finished, you’ll have a chance to share your magazine cover with the class and explain the history behind your chosen decade.

Conclusion: Setting the Stage for Exploration

This fun, creative activity will help us explore how the world around us influenced beauty standards and trends throughout history. So grab your imagination, and let’s get started on this exciting adventure through the evolution of hair and beauty!

Remember: Be as vibrant and creative as the styles you'll be presenting! I'm looking forward to seeing all your fantastic magazine covers!
