The Industrial Revolution Child Labor For a look at child labor, examine William Blake's poems, both entitled, "The Chimney Sweeper." One is from his collection of poems titled "Songs of Innocence," while the second collection is titled "Songs of Experience." I first had students read and answer the questions from the first poem, then have a classroom discussion before moving on to the second.

Latin American Revolutions

A Brief Introduction to Latin America & The Beginning of their Struggle for Independence [|Prezi: Chapter 24 (Nationalism) Section 1 - Latin American People Win Independence]

A great, in depth unit plan on [|Pablo Neruda]'s poetry. Though it's long, it covers much of the Spanish Civil War, the indigenous peoples of Chile and South American resistance movements. This could even be used to bridge history and English classes & teachers!

I didn't get to use these due to time constraints, but they give a wonderful inside look into Russia just prior to the Russian Revolution. There would be three groups, each reading and then discussing and answering the questions at the bottom of each page.
