Children of the Early 1900's assignment

Children of the Early 1900's assignment

Hello students! Today we will be using this blog to explore what lives were like for children living between 1909 and 1913. This was a time before child labor laws were enforced, and as you will see in the following posts, these children's lives were much different from your own!

First I would like you to explore the blog, make observations and think about how the children in the pictures live differently than you do.

Next I would like you comment on each picture with something special you notice in the picture. Some ideas for things you might look for are:

• How the children look (clothes, hygiene, etc.)
• Where are the children working?
• Who is doing the work?
• Can you relate to the children in the pictures?

Finally you will be choosing two pictures to compare and contrast. You will have a week to complete this assignment and will present the pictures you chose to the class.
