iCarly


Network: Nickelodeon
Running time: 30 min

Episode name: iSell Penny Tees

Targeted age group:tweens

Plot: The iCarly gang sells items from their web show. They are surprise to see that the Penny t-shirt sold for $300 dollars. They get the idea of making more to sell. Sam got a bunch of 4th graders from St. Mary’s to make their tee shirts. Sam’s working conditions resemble a sweatshop, which Carly and Freddy are disappointed to see. Freddy and Carly take halve of the kids up to the studio to make the tee shirts to see which group makes more. Carly and Freddy’s group gets a better treatment. Unfortunately both groups of 4th graders started their own penny tee shirt business.

Personal Thoughts/Educational Tie Ins: I think that both groups needed a balance of working conditions. Sam’s working conditions were too harsh and Carly and Freddy’s were too lenient so their group took advantage of the situation.
