Garment Factory Questions
1. Name one idea you have after this visit that connects to the idea of using resources!
2. Name one idea you have after this visit that relates to the word 'population'.
3. On a scale of 1-10, 10 being the top score, how would you rate the quality of the work environment you saw here, and why?
4. What does the word 'export' have to do with today's visit?
5. What do you think the level of safety is here? What makes you think this?
6. How old do you think the workers here are, on average?
7. What is one question you still have about the garment industry here in Bangladesh?
8. What types of issues does this factory cause or help solve in terms of resources here in Bangladesh?
9. What might you say about economic issues based on today's visit?
Do you think the products being manufactured here help or hurt
Bangladesh?
Answer one of the above questions and add two points of observation or reflection from the day abouts the two places we visited (Sterling Styles factory and Up2Date apparel office). Also you can compose a question that you may have from our flex day adventures. You should post these three items on your blog page.
1) answer a question 2) make two observations or reflections (or write your own questions that you may have) Three things in total!
6. How old do you think the workers here are, on average?
The age of the most workers in this factory is 18 years old. I know the answer because my friends went up to the guy who took questions and ask him the question.
I like it when I went to the factory and I was shock by seeing how many people the factory have. The trip was fun and I appreciate how they gave us the drinks and some crackers. One of the questions I had in mind was how much they get paid. I want to know if its enough to buy a house and stuff. I didn't like it on the bus because of the trafiics and bumpy ride. Over all I'll give this trip a 8/10.

Elliot's Expose
Elliot’s Expose
Blog response instructions:
• Answer the questions in complete sentences and use proper English (restrain from using MSN chat style of writing).
• Use evidence from the novel to support your answer and include page numbers.
• When commenting to your peers, be respectful in your language and about their responses. It is okay to disagree, but do it in a polite manner.
When Elliot writes about his experience with the Jock Rots and sends it out over the KidNet, he includes the following quote in his letter.
"I think people ought to realize that stuff like this goes on every day…The rest of you are all part of it-because you let it go on and maybe you think it's funny, or you think it only happens to geeky outsiders and kids who are smaller or fatter or skinnier or don't have so many friends or so much money as you. So tell me-what happens when you don't have so many friends one day, or you don't have so much money, or something bad happens to you?" (91-92)
Blog Question:
What is the message is he trying to get across to his classmates? (6pts)
Elliot is telling his classmates that bullies/cool kids like Jock Rots could fall behind and be bullied, having no one to support them just like how Russell started off. So he's trying to say that bullies are not much different from the victims but have more friends. Now Elliot is saying that there's no reason to be bullied by a same kinds of people and try to fight back to stop the bully or make them fall behind. In page 92 Elliot says "That what i USED to do. This time i got pissed off. I hit back, and I also told them what I thought of them, and that REALLY upset the poor little boys." and that told me that even a nerd like Elliot could upset the Jock Rots and how he could hurt them. And he wants kids to know that bullying could stop if they fight back.
