AWESOME OLYMPICS EVERYONE!
NOTE: On Monday, we are going to the Tenement Museum on the Lower East Side from 12:15-3:00. We will have a tour and see what actually Tenement living was like.
- Due Monday: Complete the Child Labor Packet. Read CAREFULLY for a detailed reading quiz! Read and take notes (in margins, at the end of each section, with highlighter, whatever works for you!) the Four Readings on Child Labor. On Monday, in splits, you will take a reading quiz that will ask you to recall important information in the packet. There will be questions about each of the four readings, so please read all of the sections that are in the packet. Hint: Pay particular attention to individual children whose stories you read about; pay attention to connections between child labor and immigrant issues; understand the types of jobs kids held and what companies employed them; understand some details about what it was like for children to labor as they did in the Progressive Era.
