Child Labor: Follow up Suggestions

  • homework students write an email to a local official (they choose who) and describe what their contribution will be to a new campaign they suggest to address this problem. Students have to use at least 2 times each of the three structures.  Instructor corrects the emails before the next class.  In class, instructor provides input to the whole class about patterns of mistakes and gives back the corrected homeworks to the three groups. Students read their own letter and consider the corrections in their group. Then, they do a ‘gallery walk’ – they walk over to another station/wall where they read another group’s email. On stickies each student asks 1 question, state 1 point they agree with and 1 point they disagree with.
  • lower proficiency level – short story writing अम्बु की ज़िंदगी आगे कैसे बदली? (students use one of the short stories as a sample format)
  • listen to the story of an NGO activist and use a Venn Diagramm to compare your strategies with theirs
  • differentiated tasks — Paperboy
  • higher proficiency level – Child Labor 2
