I picked writing letters from the perspective of a young boy that works in a sweatshop.Then another letter from the perspective of a CEO of the brand that owns that sweatshop.The reason I picked this way of expression is because I feel like I can put in the emotion of the young boy through the letter and show how the CEO’s of the brands don’t really care.The letters show my learning because it tells the reader what kind of horrible working conditions those women and children have to go through.It also shows how the CEO’s don’t care how they earn their money and what they are doing to their workers, all they care about is making more money no matter how.

I chose to make a paper diorama sweatshop because I wanted to try to create what a sweatshop looked like. I also wanted to try something new. This shows my learning because it shows what I know about sweatshops. It also shows the conditions in which the workers in a sweatshop need to work in

My exhibition artifact is a cardboard shoe, I choose it because I wanted to make something completely recycled and something that gave me a bit of a challenge, so I went all over town to find cardboard in recycling bins because it would be way to easy if I just bought it and it has to be completely recyclable so after I got the cardboard I split it up by three sections the bottom, the middle, and the top of the shoe to show where each piece of cardboard came from and to show where it came from, most of the bottom of the shoe was from 6th street all the way to 1st, then most of the middle of the shoe came from 15th street to 7th, and the top of the shoe came from mostly upper Lonsdale.
