The Process Just like child laborers of the Industrialization, you too will work hard and long on your job. However, instead of physical labor, you will use brain power to complete this task! Follow these steps to complete your quest... Step 1: First, divide up the work! Each person in the group should have already been assigned a role. Your choices are: Textile, Worker, Miner, Farm Hand ,or Newsboy. Step 2: Next, each person will spend time going to their individual role pages to gather research for their assigned role. When you begin your research, make sure you have paper to take notes on all the information you will find on the Internet sites I provide for you. Put your name on these papers and keep them because you will hand them in at the end as your "rough research copy."Note: You may gather information from other sources as well, but please cite all work!
Step 3: When you have finished your research and have a clear picture of the type of work the child had to endure during the Industrial Revolution, create a Sensory Figure of the child laborer. This Sensory Figure should capture the child's senses as they completed their job.
Head = "I think..."
Eyes = "I see..."
Ears = "I hear..."
Mouth = "I say..."
Nose = "I smell..."
Heart = "I feel..."
Hands = "I touch..."
Feet = "I (an action)..."
Step 4: Once all of your group members have completed their research, you will meet to discuss your findings. answer the questions on the Group Project Sheet. Make sure all group members' names are on the sheet and it’s completely filled out. Don’t leave any blanks!
step 5: Final Analysis: This part should be done individually and should not match your other group members' answers. Please note, answers of "I don't know" are unacceptable. You must think hard and answer all parts of this task for credit.
STEP 6: ASSEMBLE YOUR INDIVIDUAL PROJECT PACKETS AND HAND IN TO ME BY THE DUE DATE. THIS SHOULD INCLUDE ALL OF THE FOLLOWING NEATLY STAPLED TOGETHER… ROLE RESEARCH SHEETS: THESE ARE JUST THE SHEETS OF PAPER WHERE YOU TOOK NOTES WHEN RESEARCHING YOUR ROLE. ROLE REPRESENTATION SHEET: THIS SHEET CONTAINS ALL OF THE INFORMATION YOU FOUND ON YOUR PROFESSION. IT ALSO INCLUDES A PICTURE OF A PERSON REPRESENTING YOUR ASSIGNED ROLE. IT CAN BE COPIED FROM A WEB SITE, OR HAND DRAWN. MAKE SURE YOU LABEL IT! GROUP SHEET: THIS SHEET MUST BE FILLED OUT BY ALL GROUP MEMBERS. DON’T LEAVE ANY BLANKS!
