An instructor's manual and student activity guide on fiber and fabric identification are provided in this set of prevocational education materials which focuses on the vocational area of distributive education (fashion merchandising). (This set of materials is one of ninety-two prevocational education sets arranged around a cluster of seven vocational offerings: agriculture, home economics, distributive education, health occupations, world of work, trade and industry, and office occupations.) The instructor's guide is organized into the following elements: title of activity, duration of activity (four to twelve periods), activity goals, seven instructional objectives, related vocational clusters, and activity implementation (description, materials needed, safety considerations, teacher preparation prior to class, during the class, follow-up activities, answer key to student check point activities, and masters for duplication [e.g., activity sheets and checkpoints 1-3]). The student activity guide provides step-by-step instructions (narrative and illustrations) for completing each instructional objective (identify and chart the three basic weaves, identify fabric samples using the burn test, weave a piece of fabric using a hand loom) At the end of each set of instructions is a student check point (evaluation activity). Occupational descriptions for a salesperson, buyer, and clothes designer conclude the document. (JH)
