Description
The bulk of this lesson is devoted to reading “An Apparel Factory Defies Sweatshop Label, but Can It Thrive?” (Source 2). This is an article from The New York Times that provides the case study of a garment factory that has very positive working conditions. Because this is a long article, it’s important that students understand they are not reading the entire article closely. Rather, they are reading first to locate relevant information to answer their supporting research questions, then reading parts of the article closely to be able to add useful information to their notes.
