Lesson Plans

We highly recommend the Dorothea Lange's Migrant Mother lesson plan.

For the U.S. internment of Japanese Americans we recommend Flawed Democracies, Human Rights (Intermediate Level) by the Getty

We highly recommend when studying America's child labour laws What Is Work and Who Are the Workers? for Gr 8 and for High School by the Getty
