PROJECT OVERVIEW:

You will read and research individuals who became leaders in the fight against child slavery and labor (recorded in research logs). You will then form an advocacy group and choose a product popular among teens. Students research how that product is designed and manufactured and then brought to market. You will produce a physical representation of the product (this must be able to stand on its own). On the product you will input all information about the product and its manufacturers. You will then write a story, (real, or this can be turned into a creative writing assignment, or a blend of both) of the young people who manufacture the product for multinational corporations.

Other elements to accompany the project can be a power point presentation or film clip to back your opinions and facts.

The advocacy group will be the second part of the project!
