Child Labour Activity
Each student is given the name of a person involved in the debate over the issue of children working in textile factories in the early part of the 19th century. The characters have been divided into eight different categories:
Each student then goes on the Internet and carries out research to discover: (a) details of their character; (b) their views on child labour. Each student writes a brief biography of their character and prepares a speech for a debate entitled: "Parliament should pass legislation making it illegal for children under the age of twelve to work in textile factories."
