Setting Purpose for Research: What are Fair Working Conditions?

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Life may not be fair but working conditions should be. Scholars research working conditions at Wegmans by studying the company website. They complete a working conditions anchor chart and discuss their findings in a think-pair-share activity. They then turn their research to other countries such as Bangladesh or Cambodia. Pupils end their discussion for the day with a four corners activity in which they move to respond to statements in terms of strongly agree, agree, disagree, or strongly disagree.
