To make students aware of this ongoing struggles of factory workers ranging from children to adults, past to present. Then taking these facts and forming their own interpretations from the negative and positive. Students will be able to connect aspects of each content area as it pertains to struggles of the working class. From literary to more scientific/mathematical material, students will observe difficulties faced by factory workers and will be able to make significant comparisons between struggles today. Students will be able to compare how factory life affects the human health as well as the environment.

Students will also see how people were able to change the harsh working conditions that existed, and how these changes have led to the Labor laws that we have today. This idea will leave students with the enduring understanding that in order for change to occur, there needs to be action. Hopefully this understanding will lead to a proactive mentality that will follow students for the rest of their lives.

 After analyzing research components, students will participate within a campaign in which they appeal to legislators and the general public to enact or enforce laws to combat poor working conditions within the United States and throughout the world. The means to this end will be evident within media talk back ads, literature including prose and poetry plus commentary relating to working class conditions during the industrial revolution to the present time. This work will be added to a public wiki space. This objective will allow the students to actively engage in an effort to present a form of public protest based on what they have learned.

Students will have a concrete understanding of working class struggles that range from 1911 to the present day through literature, creative/persuasive writing tactics, photographs, and technological assignments. They will be able to make significant comparisons and observations about issues that still exist within the working class today. Students will also understand prominant historical examples that demonstrate unfair working class conditions, including the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire.
