Challenges are different for today's kids. Learners begin to think about their own challenges by examining the adversities faced by children in medieval villages. They complete a graphic organizer as they watch the video Hackschooling Makes Me Happy. The class adds to the Challenges of Modern Times anchor chart and then views the text Blue Lipstick and Technically, It’s Not My Fault.
