Worksheet time: 15mins
Are hoodies allowed in your school? How about in your home, or your church or mosque?
After watching the video, what did you learn about the history of the hoodie?
When was the hoodie connected to racial profiling? Can you think of any other instances of fear or profiling that come from wearing hoodies or other clothing that can be identity-based, like a skullcap, a yamaka, hijab or turban?
Make a drawing that shows how you feel when wearing a hoodie, or other identity-based clothing.
Write a love letter to your favorite clothing item.
Think of one article of clothing that you could not live without. It could be your favorite jersey, a sweater that was passed down from your grandmother, sneakers that you’ve worn every day for three years or a necklace that you received for a special birthday.
What makes this object so important to you? What does it look like? Feel like? Smell like? Get descriptive and write a love letter to that article of clothing, letting it know how much it means to you and why.
