A Day: Child Labor

Hello everyone!  Today we discussed the working conditions within the factories during the Industrial Revolution.  We also discussed why women and children were employed for jobs during the time period.  Lastly, we compared and contrasted child labor during the Industrial Revolution to child labor today.  We will continue this discussion during Wednesday's class.

For homework, I have given everyone a worksheet to complete.  Please find a reliable video (via You Tube or elsewhere on the Internet) relating to child labor today.  The video must be longer than 4 minutes.  Watch the video and complete the worksheet provided.

Please also remember that you will have an open-notebook quiz next class.  The quiz will be based on all information learned about the Industrial Revolution thus far.  If you have any questions, please feel free to email me over the weekend.  Have a great day!

~Mr. Mazur

P.S.-  Your extra credit will also be due on Wednesday's class.
