B Day: Child Labor Letter

Hello everyone.  Today we discussed the causes and consequences of the Industrial Revolution and the rise of factories.  We analyzed the living and working conditions during the time period, and we focused on the usage of child labor at the time.  We also compared and contrasted child labor from the Industrial Revolution and today.

For homework, you are to research a specific company that has used child labor and write a letter to that company stating your thoughts on its practices.  Grammar and spelling will be checked.  This assignment should be about 1-3 paragraphs.  Please put the sources that you used on the bottom of the document.  Only use reliable sites or sources for this assignment.  No Wikipedia or ask.com.

Furthermore, your current events for North America will be due on Thursday.  We are pushing back the schedule for our Geography Unit by one week.  Please email me if you have any questions.

Lastly, you will have a quiz on Thursday on everything we learned thus far on the Industrial Revolution.  Begin to study ASAP!
