Life may not be fair but working conditions should be. Scholars research working conditions at Wegmans by studying the company website. They complete a working conditions anchor chart and discuss their findings in a think-pair-share activity. They then turn their research to other countries such as Bangladesh or Cambodia. Pupils end their discussion for the day with a four corners activity in which they move to respond to statements in terms of strongly agree, agree, disagree, or strongly disagree.
