RECYCLED COSTUME RUBRIC

Objective - To create a costume that matches a description of a character using only recyclable objects.

Lesson- Working in small groups, students design and create an assigned costume using recyclable materials and
(clean) trash. One student in the group then models the finished costume for the class.

The Bride or Groom: Be creative. Think of a non-traditional Bride & Groom with a them. Frankenstein
Bride/Groom; Bride/Groom from Mars, etc.

The Monster From the Black Lagoon: He is icky, he is slimy, he is disgusting. Or choose any creature from water.

A Shakespearean-type wood nymph fairy:Your basic crafty little mischief-maker. Should look “other-worldly” and
may have magical powers.

A Lion: King of the jungle. This lion is from a children’s story theatre script and should have a good-humored
storybook style to him.

A Tree: This tree is very overgrown and old and is, in fact, a sinister old witch who has had a spell cast on her a
hundred years ago! It should be free to move around because there is much choreography planned for it.

New-age Munchkin: This little one has evolved from the days of Oz. He/she is hip and up-to-date, but still holds
onto the hippie values of long ago. Or choose any character from Oz/

Post-apocalyptic: The setting must be one where the end of the world has already taken place and characters are
trying to survive and start anew. The end of the world event that occurred can be anything from war, to plague, to
natural or man made disasters.
