Assessment #1
Child laborers were often hired to work alongside adult workers during the Progressive Era. Many times these children were given dangerous jobs that required the manipulation of small parts or spaces, often resulting in injury. American photographer, Lewis Hines, captured the plight of these small workers in the fields, factories, and mines in which they worked. For this assignment: 1) Review a small, but poignant collection of Hines' photographs at the following link: Child Labor in America. 2) Choose 6 of the images that you feel best represent the conditions child laborers faced. 3) Copy and paste the pictures into a document. 4) Provide a 2 sentence caption for each picture explaining why you selected the picture how it represents the conditions children typically faced. 5) Submit your completed document to 2.03 Child Laborers Dropbox.
