Students will focus their work on a union of the past and a present day union. They will compare and contrast the struggles of the workers and what rights they were fighting for. Has the struggle of the worker changed or remained the same?
Students will practice their interpersonal communication skills, specifically speaking and writing by interviewing a classmate and writting an aricle based on the interview.
This is a longer project that will allow students to select a topic to research. Students will need to search a specific newspaper (either of their choice or yours) for mentions of the issue and create a timeline of what happened.
