KTC Students Read Through The CA-7 Work Permit

Today, we will be talking about CA-7 Work Permits and why we have them.  Students will be looking at these work permits, trying to understand that they explain the hours they work, the amount they can do, and the design of the document.


After reading through this informational text, they will also make a connection to history.  We hope that after reading through this document and looking at pictures of child labor in the past, they will be able to respond online to how they felt while talking about this subject and the negative impacts of child labor in the world and what they could do to stop child labor.
