  point of view is and the legacy of child labor

Volunteer 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.

6
What 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.

Primary 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?

9
Today 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.

10
We 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 !

Directions

• 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

12
Tasks 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!
13
Times 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.

14
Back 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
15
What 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 ?

16
Closure- 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?
