Learning Targets  Students will learn Sandburg’s view of child labor through his poems and his involvement

with the Social Democratic Party. Students will analyze historic photos Students will research, prepare and present various points of view regarding child labor in the

early 1900’s. Materials Needed 

Media Center (for research purposes) Pencil and paper Photos (included)

Background Information 

Carl Sandburg was the son of a Swedish American immigrant family. After completing the eighth grade, he went to work holding a variety of jobs: delivering milk, shining shoes, laying bricks, and more. In 1897 he rode the rail traveling as a hobo, meeting folks from all over the country--a journey which fostered the man whom he was about to become. His experiences greatly influenced his writing and political views. Sandburg lived during a time of great change in our country. He witnessed child labor, the labor rights movement, the Chicago race riots, segregation, women’s suffrage movement, the Great Depression, World War I and II, and more. In the early 1900’s Sandburg was an active member of the Social Democratic Party (as was Lilian Steichen, whom he married in 1908). Through his political activism and his writing, Sandburg spoke for those who had no words or power to speak for themselves, which is why he was and still is known today as “The Poet of the People.”

Procedure Activating Strategy Think, Pair, Share - Pose the following question to the students, “should children be allowed to work instead of going to school?’. Allow time for students to process their thinking. Then have students discuss their response with a partner. Finally, have students share responses with the class. Teaching Strategy 

1. Divide students into 6 equal groups. Assign each group one of the following roles: Children, Parents, Employers, Mayor, Social Reformers, and Journalists. Distribute historic photos which pertain to their group.

2. Have students analyze the photos using the photograph analysis worksheet. These photos will aid them in developing their point of view.

3. Give the students the following scenario: 1910: You live in a small town in North Carolina. There is a large cotton mill in your town where many people are employed, including many young children. There will be a town meeting in your community to discuss the question: “Should children be working in the mill rather than attending school?”

4. Have each group research, prepare and present their point of view (in character)

regarding child labor.

5. Create a simulation of a town meeting in which each group presents their point of view.

a. *Extension or Higher level learners: Students create scenario identifying modern problem, identify stakeholders and set up similar problem-solving discussion (application).

Summarizing Strategy Headline Summaries - Have students write a newspaper headline that gives the main points of the lesson.
