YMS 6th Grade Studies Child Labor Issues

Students in Mrs. Marge Correll's 6th grade class at Yorktown Middle School extended their country research by exploring the issue of child labor. Students looked for data about the problem in various countries, information about the type of labor children are engaged in, and information about what is being done to correct the problem. The experience was an eye-opener for these 6th graders. The students collaboratively created a banner as a result of their research.
