100 Years Later: Examining the Impact of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire
1. Posted on the NYTimes on March 25, 2011
2. The blog lists 14 ideas for teaching about the fire and its legacy, using a new series of Times articles, videos, photographs and more that will bring the story to life for students - and help them understand why it still resonates today.
My Participation (Questions/Responses/Comments):
1. One of the most humbling experiences we must go through as human beings is to learn from our mistakes. We must embrace the past to improve our future. With that said, the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire was indeed a tragedy but it played a major role in women's rights among other issues. As a future teacher, I found this blog to be extremely helpful! Not only did they provide ideas for teaching, but also articles, photographs, and much more.
2. Each of the bloggers agreed that this event is a great example of how we can use history to teach students about modern day problems and debates.
My Learning
1. Currently I am not teaching, however, in the future I would definitely utilize this material. Well-organized, cohesive, and practical!
