Monday Civics Week Task – Environmental and Social Issues Window Display Analysis
Today on Civics Week, 9th and 10th grade students will engage in a thoughtful analysis of our school’s window displays focused around Environmental and Social Issues . The goal is to help students understand how art and merchandising displays can serve as powerful tools for social and cultural change.
Task Overview:
Students will observe and analyze the window displays, paying attention to the visual choices, messaging, and themes presented.
They will consider how these displays reflect social issues, values, and calls to action.
Students will explore how art and merchandising can influence public opinion, raise awareness, and inspire action.
