I am thinking that this photo was taken many years ago by the clothing , sepia effect of the image.

I am wondering if the boys are actually playing a game, as it appears that others are playing on swings and a large group of people seem to be chatting by the wall.

This is an eye.  It seems to have the C for Colorado as its retina, but it is turned the wrong direction.

I am wondering if these three pictures go together to tell a story.  If so, I'm not following.  I also wonder how Mr. Kidd made this activity.  I think it must be padlet.  We'll see.

I see young boys in a dirted area with wheelbarrows.  I see clothes hanging to dry in the background.  I see buildings, that could be places of living, around the boys.

I think the young boys are being put to work.  I think this is from long ago before child labor laws.  I also think it long ago by the aging of the wheelbarrow and the clothes.

I wonder who took this picture and what the boys thought when the picture was being taken.  I wonder what kind of work the boys were doing. I wonder what year this was.

I see boys with no shoes with wheelbarrows in a dirt lot. There is an old metal swing set, brick buildings, and laundry hanging out to dry in the background.

# data[].attributes.body
I think this took place a long time ago, given the boys' clothes and the coloring of the picture. I think they might be working to make a playground.

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder what the people in the background are doing. I'm also wondering what was happening at this point in time in history that would lead to this level of poverty.

Immigrants flooded into NYC and typhus raged.  Titled "The Poverty Gap," this photo shows boys at work to sustain themselves or help their families.

# data[].attributes.body
I see a background of children that might be playing, but in the foreground, boys are working/trying to work.

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder what the "haves" have? What's the socio-economic status of the children swinging in the background, and who are the children of wealth that don't appear in the picture. Staggering inequality.

I see young boys with wheelbarrows that don't look very happy. I see a swing set in the background with people on it. I see a crowd of people in the background. i see clothes hanging on a line. I see dirt.

I think this is a photo taken a long time ago based on the color of the photo as well as the clothing of the individuals in the photo. I think the boys are unhappy and are being put to work while others spend time playing and talking.

I see children playing in a park that is all dirt and they dont have shoes they also look like they are in a city

I think that this is a very poor neighborhood and they might be working since many have wheel barrows. Also since it was photographed in 1892 they might be child laborers

I wonder if the photographer wanted to show conditions of children or what he wanted his audience to feel when they saw the image.

What might the children be moving with the wheel barrows?

I think the boys are doing some sort of work, but the caption of the photo mentions a "children's playground," so I'm wondering if the wheelbarrows are supposed to be toys?  The boys look hot, tired, and sad!

How old are these children? How many hours do they work each week?

I see boys pushing wheel barrels around midday because the shadows are not elongated.  There is nothing to pick up and place into the wheel barrels and the wheel barrels are empty. I see other children on the swings and many people standing behind the playground.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the boys have a daily duty to clean the playground. I think they are helping their family by contributing their earnings.

I wonder why it is children working this job.

I wonder who is paying these boys wages and why there are so many boys working at this playground.

I see some children working. They seem pretty young.

This makes me think that life was really tough because of how much work these children are having to do.

This makes me wonder what day to day life looked like "back then."

Is this an image from "How the Other Half Lives"?

So many children have wheelbarrows!

Poverty doesn't allow for childhood, and historically, "childhood" (the social construct) as a separate time of life from working adult life, didn't historically exist.

where the girls are...working inside the home? working elsewhere?

I think it's interesting that the photo is called Children's Playground when it looks like the children are actually working. This is very different from our modern playgrounds.

I wonder... do they actually get to play on the swing set? And what are all the children standing in the back doing?

Young boys walking around with wheelbarrows looking sad, a swingset in the background with people on it, multiple family buildings, and lots of dirt.

This picture represents the era in which children during this historical age, from poor families, were required to work instead of attend school.  Their faces reflect a sense of boredom, of giving up, as there is no playtime, only the drudgery of work.

If our students will understand the privileges of their lives as students in a free educational system when compared to children who had to work.  If so, will they be able to develop empathy for those children around the world who do not receive an education and change the stars of their lives.

I see several shoeless children on a "playground" with one swing set for the multitude of children to share, tons of dirt, several apartment buildings in the background.

This is a heart-wrenching scene of  how poverty affects children. It seems like there is a sense of hopelessness on their faces.  At the same time, however, I would like to think that these boys have found some sense of joy in a difficult situation and instead of completing grueling work, they are instead about to organize some fun wheelbarrow races using what they have.  It does make me incredibly sad to think how resourceful people living in poverty must be on a daily basis.

# data[].attributes.body
I had a similar thought as Jenea had previously. I wonder if the the boys are actually playing with the wheelbarrows, but the intention of the photograph was to highlight life in poverty to bring about change. I recall reading about Jacob Riis, a social reformer/journalist who photographed tenements in New York to bring awareness to the cramped squalor people lived in.

What was the role of children during this time/in this area?

Why did this artist think the picture was important to capture?

# data[].attributes.body
I see that most of the boys don't have shoes and that there is dirt instead of road/sidewalk/grass. I also do not see any girls.

I am thinking that the artist might have snapped this picture to show something to society? Possibly to help people recognize a societal issue like poverty since it seems to be ironically titled "Children's Playground, Poverty Gap"
