Child Labour in Victorian Times

Hi guys,

today we worked on a text about child work in the 19th century in England.

Here is what you said about it:

* Until 1842, children had to work. They could work in coal mines.

* Until 1880, school wasn't compulsory. After 1880, children had to study until they were 10. School was compulsory. They had to go to school between 5 and 10. 

* Children worked in mines, mills, factories, on open markets, in the country, in the fields, ...They had to scare crows and they had to pick fruit and vegetables.

--------------------------------------

* Today in France, school is compulsory until 16. It's the law.

-> OBLIGATION IN THE PAST = HAD TO + V

Then we started to study a final document:
