"Parliament should pass legislation making
it illegal for children under the age of twelve to work in textile
factories."
This is an activity taken from the Spartacus
Educational website. Students are allocated a character from the 19th
century (see the list)
who was either a supporter or defender of child labour. They fill out
this research
sheet about their character. Finally, they prepare a speech
of one minute in length to be made to camera.
For more details see the IST
website.
