This is an extremely detailed powerpoint going into the history of Chinese Foot Binding, the process, the genesis (via myths, cultural aspects), along w/the slow demise of the practice. It includes VIVID and GRAPHIC images of footbinding (including of bound human feet, x-rays, special shoes, etc.). And concludes with a reflection portion, asking to compare the ways in which our own culture will go through painful procedures for the sake of beauty/cultural norms. My 7th grades LOVED this lesson! I would say due to the graphic nature of the topic, it is best for middle school all the way through adult courses.

I am a highly certified language arts and social studies teacher, and have taught in California, Kansas, and currently North Carolina. I received a BS in secondary English education, and have worked as a language arts teacher in three schools, improving writing test scores by 30% in one year! I have taken additional course work and exams to be highly qualified in secondary social studies as well, a subject I have fallen in love with as a teacher! I am currently taking an unpaid year of leave to stay at home with my now 8 month daughter, Elizabeth. The additional income from this service will be greatly appreciated! As a teacher I strive to appeal to all learners. And I hope you find that many of these lessons and materials reach out to the various learning styles. I appreciate your business!
