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.
Well done powerpoint kids liked it in Global Studies.

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!
