¿Cuánto cuesta tu ropa para un día?” (How much does your clothing for one day cost?)
* We'll estimate the low-end cost (new, good quality but affordable) and the high-end cost (popular, more expensive brands) for boys’ and girls’ outfits. Let's do "ballpark" estimates. We do not have to include every article of clothing.
Discussion question: Do you think clothing is more expensive or less expensive in other countries around the world? Why?
