A Stitch In Time American
History Grades 4 - 8
Wear
your team colors proudly in this chronological look back at history
through the button hole of a baseball jersey. Using textiles and
clothing styles, students will learn about many social and
technological changes since the early 1900's. Here is an exciting
unit that connects each decade of the last century by highlighting
major milestones as reflected in the ever-evolving baseball
uniform. From benchmarks to the batter's box, fashion trends lead
the way to a dyed-in-the-wool study of how the fabric of American
society has changed one stitch at a time.
