Project Runway!

We kicked off our 7th grade "Upcycle" Unit with a recycled outfit challenge. Students got into groups and chose an era piece to recreate using only newspaper and tape. The students had 25 minutes to  design and assemble the newspaper ensemble onto a designated model before he/she strutted their stuff down the catwalk. The 80's era seemed to be the most popular and I was super impressed with all the pleats and bows!
