Lewis Hine...continued!

You should be finished with your Bag the Web, extended response, and Voicethread by the end of class on Monday.  Make sure that you take the time to comment on other students Voicethreads as well.

This week we will be focusing on creating an award for Lewis Hine- for his hard work and determination in bringing child labor issues to the attention of all Americans.  You will be creating an award for Lewis Hine using Word- in word go to file then project gallery then go to the left hand side finally go to events and click on awards. (please post on your blog when you are finished).  See my sample below.  Make sure to explain why the award is being given and why he deserves such an award.


Lewis Hine Project Choices

For the remainder of the week you will be working on finishing up your vocabulary packet and doing a project on Lewis Hine.  You will have several projects to choose from and several products to complete. 

Are you interested in doing a podcast with special guest Lewis Hine himself?

Would you like to do a photo flipbook collection of Lewis Hine's work?

Would you like to research child labor around the globe?  What are the child labor laws in the US and around the globe?  What countries do not have child labor laws?

Would you like to interview some of the children in the photos of Lewis Hine?  What were they thinking as he was taking their pictures?  Did they want the laws on child labor to change?  Did any of them go to school?  get an education?

What do kids your age know about child labor laws?  Create a survey and poll 5th grade students about child labor.  Create graphs of the results and share with the fifth grade classes.

What are your ideas?
