This module contains four lesson plans and each lesson is highly flexible and adaptable. Standards by the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) were used to guide the development of this module and it is designed so that teachers can teach a lesson within 1-2 class periods to introduce the subject or fully integrate the materials into the classrooms throughout the year. Teachers can also combine different lesson plans or combine modules for a more comprehensive introduction. Some suggestions are provided by the author. The module is adaptable for students in 5th grade all the way up to high school level. “Child Soldiers” is one of four modules developed by the Child Labor Research Initiative of the University of Iowa Center for Human Rights (Iowa, USA).
