Notes for Teachers
Individual
Practice
(A question for
extension that students
can do independently to
assess understanding of
the concept(s).)
In a Venn Diagram format, have
students individually work on the
question: “Canadian people would
work in a urban area because … ?
In a rural area because …?” In the
center of the diagram, list reasons
that are the same for both urban
and rural settings.
Assessment as Learning
In pairs, students will self-
assess their questions and make
improvements based on the set
criteria
Circulate to observe and assist
students.
Differentiation
(Modifications/
Extensions)
Invite a labour leader to speak to
the class about the current, and
possibly historic, nature of their
work. (For example, what changes
have been made at the factory over
the past decades?)
Assessment of Learning
These differentiation and
extension opportunities allow
students to further develop their
understanding of workers and
employers throughout various
time periods.
The extension activity is an
opportunity for students to
further develop their background
knowledge of this time period.
Reflection
In their reflective history journal, ask students, “If you could move from an urban setting to a rural setting, or
vice versa, would you and why? Provide three to five reasons and explain your thinking.”
Next Steps
Arrange for students to explore the United Nations website on Child Labour by going to http://www.un.org/
en/globalissues/briefingpapers/childlabour/. Have students review the website and report back to the class
(individually or in small groups) about one of the topics covered.
