Today the sun has been shining & no sign of the rain (erm yet)!
These Grade 5 students (10/11yrs old) shocked me today, not much can but they did. Their lessons were all about Child Labour.
Task 1 was to get into pairs with a phone and ask the question ‘What work do you do?’ They used the camcorder function on the phone to interview each other.
Task 2 was to look at the photos on the phones of children doing adult jobs. They had to analyse the pictures and discuss in groups.
Task 3 was to watch a short video on the phones of two child (13 & 14) prostitutes working in South Africa. It was a very emotional clip that Grade 5 were very mature about. We then discussed as a whole class how it made them feel & why it was wrong – they knew the physical & emotional effects. They knew what damage it would cause & to their health and education.
Final task was homework. To design a poster to ‘STOP CHILD LABOUR!’
Amazing day to match an ‘awesome’ week. Tomorrow we’re taking 20 students all kitted out with phones, flip camera to the Apartheid museum where we’ve set them some tasks to go towards their report back at school.
