Labels tell the story
• Labels consist of 50-75 words that develop the interpretation in organized clusters of claims and evidence.
• Each label communicates one main idea.
Revolutionary thinkers, affirming the right to childhood, denounced child labor as exploitation. Settlement workers promoted childhood as a unique stage in life in which an individual’s personality could be developed through creative play, introduction to the arts, and a proper education. Muckrakers, pioneering doctors, and labor union organizers publicized the evils of child labor.

NewslettersTo be more than a visual image, sources with a lot of text either need an inset quotation to highlight the most important words, or be reflected in the label.

Quotations
“Many women keep their children from school to run the factory and to help with the homework. In order to earn anything and provide food for themselves….” Reverend Dunne, 1897
• Quotes from primary sources bring the actual “voices” from the past and can be powerful sources of evidence.
• Quotes from secondary sources reinforce or add authority to your claims and evidence.
