This lesson launches Unit 3, an investigation of working conditions in the modern-day garment industry. In this research, students will refer to the Working Conditions anchor chart that they added to in Units 1 and 2. The questions they developed as they read Lyddie will be particularly useful now.
Students will also add to the Working Conditions anchor chart. In earlier units, they added examples of actual working conditions they encountered; in this unit, they will add their ideas about what working conditions they consider fair. If the Examples of Fair Working Conditions column of the anchor chart is full, consider adding a “What we think is fair” column; otherwise, just add ideas in a different color.
