2) Add the following title into your exercise book
'Chinese Footbinding'
Watch the following video and make notes as you watch under the title.
3) Copy down the following information into your exercise book:
- Foot binding was the custom of applying tight binding to the feet of young girls to modify the shape of the foot.
- The practice possibly originated among upper-class court dancers during 10th or 11th century, then eventually spread to all social classes.
- Foot binding became popular as a means of displaying status (women from wealthy families, who did not need their feet to work, could afford to have them bound) and was correspondingly adopted as a symbol of beauty in Chinese culture.
- Feet altered by binding were called lotus feet.
- It was not until the early 20th century that foot binding began to die out as a result of anti foot-binding campaigns.
- Foot-binding resulted in lifelong disabilities for most of its subjects.
4) Use your device to look at images of foot binding.
5)In your exercise book you are to respond to the following two questions. You are to write atleast one page in total
1. How would a wealthy Chinese family from 1,000 years ago feel when they look at our feet?
2. As a society, do we place too much importance on beauty? Do you believe this is a new trend? How do you think it should be?
That's it for today! Check back tomorrow for more work.
