Lesson plan: Ways of working

From The Clothes Line online resource

Age group: 7 - 11

Aims:
To help children understand that cotton production processes take place in different working environments.
To develop skills of observation and analysis of evidence.

What to do:
Use all photos from the photo gallery, except numbers 1 and 10 for this activity. Photocopy the Work Chart so that you have enough for each group of children to share one. Ask each group to choose a photo and fill in the Work Chart. They should work through a number of photos. As a class, come back together and discuss some of the differences between working in a factory and working from home. You could use the Fair Trade stories as stimulus material. What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of each?
