WEEK 12--Global/Local Issues, Labor Practices

Child Labor

Point of View: pretend you are this t-shirt. Write a paragraph from the shirts point of view.

Did you write about where the shirt was made?

UN's Child Labor Definitions:
1. work that is done full-time by children under the age of fifteen.
2. work that prevents children from attending school
_or_
3. Children work at jobs that are dangerous or hazardous to their physical, mental or emotional health.

the oral reading helped the readers to take the perspective of the child they are reading about. Personalizes something that we see in the media and read in articles. It made more emotional.

Declaration of the Rights of the Child:
From UN Adopted Unanimously on Nov. 20 1959
