Title: How do we discover our history?
1How do we discover our history?
- Please pick up the following materials
- Venn Diagram handout
- Primary source handout
- Article on Child Labor legacy ( yes, its
homework) - A sorting pencil
- Your interactive notebook
2Please record in your agendas
- You have homework tonight
- Please read the article on the legacy of child
labor by next class - Be ready to share what you feel the authors
point of view is and the legacy of child labor
3Please watch the clip and think of what kind of
childhood does this boy have?
- http//www.youtube.com/watch?vnlJugdk4OGc
- The clip is from the 1968 movie/musical Oliver!,
it is also our schools musical this year. Please
come and see your classmates along with yours
truly, in a cameo appearance!!
4Venn Diagram- smart board link
- Please record on your Venn diagram an event or
memory from your childhood that you remember. - Musical partner sharing of your memory/event.
- When the music stops, find a partner and share.
We will do this one other time. - http//www.youtube.com/watch?v9v6BtJDpHEM
- Sponge bob does Gangnam style
5Volunteer with green sorting pencil
- Lets add to our class Venn Diagram
- As we go thru todays lesson we will revisit this
Venn Diagram to add to our understanding of
children who lost their childhoods during the
Industrial Revolution.
6What will I be able to know and do after todays
lesson?
- I can analyze and discuss the significance of
primary source documents and describe the working
conditions for children at the turn of the 20th
century - I can predict how society will respond to the
information presented in the documentation of the
lives of these children - I can compare and contrast using a Venn diagram
childhood memories of myself and children today
with the children of child labor. - I can complete in my interactive journal my
choice of two entries to be graded using a rubric
that demonstrates self reflection on my learning
today.
7How do we discover our nations history?
8Primary documents and their sources
- What are the characteristics of a primary source
or document? - How are photographs used by historians?
- Can their be bias in a photo? What is bias?
- What other types of primary sources do you know
about? - What is the importance of using primary sources
in understanding history? - What if no one took pictures? What evidence
whould we have of the past and its events?
9Today you will be looking at photographs that are
primary sources
- The photographs were taken by Lewis Hines, who
documented the lost childhood of many children
working in the US from the late 1890s to 1920s.
You will be in a research group in which you will
select, examine and analyze a sampling of these
photographs.
10We will use our sorting pencils for flexible
grouping.By the numbers!
- We will have the 1s,2s,3s in the back of the
room. - 4s,5s,6s will be in the front of the room
- You will set up the room like we do for lit
circles. - Bring everything
- with you !
11Directions
- When you are done moving and set up your groups
space, please pick a group leader and have them
come to me for a photo packet. - http//www.youtube.com/watch?va91pJDut50E
- I like to move it, move it
12Tasks with your number group
- Look over all the photos in the packet
- Make some general observations about what is
happening in each of them - Then pick one that you will complete the primary
source analysis tool with. - Answer the questions to the best of your ability,
complete sentences are needed where they are
asked to be provided. - Everyone completes their own worksheet to turn
in, group leader to keep everyone engaged in the
task. - When done, group leader will notify me.
- You have 20-25 minutes
Yes, both sides of the worksheet!
13Times up ! Report out and share
- What are you finding? What were you most
surprised by these photographs? When Mr Hines
went to these places he was quiet he did not
announce why he was there or for what purpose his
photographs were for. We went during working
hours to document children working. What if no
one took these photographs? How can these
photographs be used by historians? - Group leaders, please collect your groups
worksheets and place in the Blue collection bin
near the interactive journal bins.
14Back to your Venn diagram
Go ahead and record what you now know about the
snapshot of the childhoods of these child
workers. What have you learned about child
laborers through your analysis of the photograph
you picked
15What did you like? What would you change?
- Thinking about how you learn. Please turn and
share with your number group what did you like
about the lesson - also, based on how you learnWhat would you
change or want to do differently ?
16Closure- lets wrap it up!
- In your interactive notebook you have your
choice of completing any two of the following - What differences do you see between your
childhood and that of a child laborer? - What do you think should be done about child
labor? - How do we discover history?
- Imagine you are one of these children, what do
you want us in the future to know about your
childhood?
