Teaching Ideas: |
Members of the Reading Group wonder if this book contains more than most people want to know about chimney sweeps. Accordingly, the text may best be used excerpted, perhaps as part of study of child labor laws (with Lyddie, for example, or Lewis Hines' biography or Voices from the Field). Excerpts (or the entire text) could also be part of a careers unit. |
