Your FINAL, BIG BLOG POST is due next Monday, May 12. As a reminder, here are the requirements:

Your final post should:
- Be focused on exploring at least two of your research questions.
- Be grammatically correct, written in full sentences.
- Be at least 800 words.
- Be written in organized paragraphs in which each paragraph has a clear subtopic.
- Include multimedia (your entire blog should have at least 4 pieces of multimedia)

Otherwise, your final post is your chance to be creative. Find your blogger voice! Tell the world what you've learned about your topic and what you still hope to learn. Make connections to our world today. Link to videos, include photos. Have FUN. Yes, it's a school assignment, but you can make it as interesting and unique as possible (as long as there is history in it...)

PREVIEW of What's to Come!

In this post, I'm going to give you a little taste of what you can expect in my final post (coming soon!). As you know, I am researching about Greek fashion and learning new things everyday. In doing research, I discovered that clothing was almost always homemade. This makes sense because ancient Greek infrastructure was not nearly as developed as ours is today. But it leads to the question... how did trends develop? A lot of what we know about Greek fashion comes from art. Maybe Greek art served like the media does today. It both reflected modern fashions and brought fashion trends to the masses. You'll find out more next week. Thanks for reading!

Take a look at the outline of my final post:
1.  Intro: what we think of when we think of Greek fashion
2.  Female Fashions
3.  Male Fashions
4.  The spread of trends in Athens
5.  Change in fashions during the Golden Age
6.  How does it affect us today
