Instructional Ideas

  • Have groups investigate whether or not raising labor standards has improved conditions or caused more factories to be closed down

Classroom Considerations

  • The focus of the one-unit module is on helping writers develop the skills they need to develop well-crafted arguments supported by solid evidence
  • The 16th in a 28-lesson unit designed to directly address Common Core standards RI.9-10.8 and L.9-10.4.a
  • The lesson requires individual copies of Marc Aronson and Marina Budhos' Sugar Changed the World: A Story of Magic, Spice, Slavery, Freedom, and Science and of the supplemental text, "Where Sweatshops Are a Dream" by Nicholas Kristof

Pros

  • The 11-page packet includes a detailed plan, discussion questions with model high-quality responses, a template for the Evaluating argument and Evidence Tool, and an answer key

Cons

  • None

Common Core

RI.9-10.8 L.9-10.4.a
