Freedom to choose? - 'The life story of a Polish sweatshop girl'
An excerpt from a 20th-century non-fiction text taken from The Life Stories of Undistinguished Americans as Told by Themselves. The extract features the plight of a Polish woman who travels to America following the death of her father.
Useful for developing students' confidence in approaching challenging texts. The text is accompanied by a reading task in which students decide whether or not the subject has control over her life.
