Read Aida to class and show students pictures of the African garments. Show other pictures of African garments. Have students identify patterns in the garments. Explain to students that Ashanti Kente Cloth originated in West Africa and the Kitanga Cloth is from East Africa. Have students make geo-wrap vests, similar to the dashikis, with a pattern, so they can have a fashion show and model for the other classes.
Students can write an invitation to another class to come view the geo-wrap vests.
Students can describe the activity they did and what they learned from it in a way that would make the class interested in coming. They can decorate the invitation with an example of their pattern around the border.
