Children in the Fields
1) Put yourself in the shoes of a farmworker youth. Imagine working 14 hours in harsh conditions. What would be the hardest thing about this life for you?
The hardest thing for me would be thinking about how long it would take so my family could have something to eat for that day.
2) One of the farmworkers said, " after all the work is over, nobody remembers the people. Or the children who worked. The farmworker is forgotten." Do you agree with this statement? Do these videos change the way you think about fruits and vegetables? Explain.
I do agree with this statement. These videos also change the way I think about fruits and vegetables, because now I know that most of the food I have ate came from little kids who had been in the hot sun all day.
