Subcultures 101, Tuesday, Period 3
The classroom was set up for creativity today. The chairs had been arranged around a large table piled with all kinds of magazines, scrapbooking materials and other art supplies and iPads ready to use, and a mix of music they'd talked about in class -- from Bowie to New Kids on the Block -- played in the background.
"We've talked about a lot of subcultures the last couple months, which gives you guys a good foundation for your final assignment," she said. "Over the next few weeks, you're each going to make up your own subculture. Think about something that you feel could unite people the way the subcultures we've discussed does, and create a culture around that. You want to look at what people in the subculture would wear and listen to and do for fun, what their ideals would be, even what they'd fight about.
"You can explain the culture however you want -- an essay, a class presentation, a collage, whatever makes the most sense to you. It doesn't have to be a culture that could exist on earth, either. The stuff on the table today is just to get you started. And if you find yourself doing the same kind of thing as somebody else in class, feel free to pair up and do something twice as good. Does anybody have any questions before we get started?"
