Child Labor Around the World
For our culminating project, you will create a digital video 'story' reflecting what you have learned about child labor. Working in teams, you will receive one of the following assignments:


News Broadcast – You will create a CNN-type news production, running no longer than 4 minutes. Your newscast will focus on informing your audience about child labor issues in the countries researched by your class.


Documentary – You will create a documentary about child labor in general. Your documentary will talk about Hines and Parker, include footage of Chivy Sok, and give a voice to real child labor victims. You should include general worldwide statistics about child labor—how many children work---what kinds of work?


Documentaries shape complex topics into ideas and understandings accessible to others. They are either narrated or told in the actual words of the participants themselves (perhaps re-enacted dialogue) based on published interviews, letters, journals, recordings and other artifacts.

You will need the following handouts to get started:
