Modern Day Child Labor Resource

After doing the Sadler Committee Report activity, I wanted to make a connection to what child labor looks like today in the world. I have always been a fan of using almost anything from Vice.  Their segments work really well for a social studies class. Some are only about 15 minutes and students find them pretty interesting. This one happens to be a little over 20 minutes and we were only able to watch the first 12 minutes or so but it worked well to help students understand some examples of child labor and hopefully some empathy. In this segment, the connections to child labor in Dickensian England to child labor in Nepal are actually pretty clear for students.

    I am actually doing the Sadler Report activity today so I appreciate the timely share!

    Todd Nussen do you still have students do the research questions about child labor today at the end of the Sadler Report activity? Or does the video take the place of that?

    Yeah, you got it.  I leave those modern day questions out and make the connection (hopefully) with the video.  When I do my first essay with them I also make sure to use a document on modern child labor instead of from the 1800s.  It becomes their job to make the connection in writing.
