Introduction
• Before the Industrial Revolution in England,
people worked from their homes or on their
family farm.
• When the Industrial Revolution began in the late
18th century people began to move to the cities
to find jobs in the factories.

Class Discussion
• What do you think were the major
differences between working in a
home in the country to working in a
factory in the city?

Assembly Line Simulation
• Recently a new toy company has opened in the British city of Liverpool
• You just moved to the city and got a job working in one of their giant factories making toy soldiers.

Assembly Line Simulation
• Procedures:1. Take out a pencil and place all backpacks
against the wall.
2. Stand next to any desk….hurry! Time is money!
* If there are no desks available, stand to the side of the room and wait for instructions.
3. You will now be assigned a number by your teacher (#1 is the student at the end of the desk with the papers and #9 is at the opposite end)… you must remember your number or you will be fired!

Worker Assignments
• If you are not standing near a desk you are an immigrant waiting for a position to open. When a worker gets fired you will replace that worker, so get ready!
• I will now assign someone to be Manager of the company. Managers are responsible for meeting production quota.
• The manager is in charge of keeping work moving quickly and accurately and s/he will try to solve any slow-downs in production. They will walk around to make sure all workers are on task. If a manager chooses to fire you, you need to replace yourself with an immigrant. Managers are may need to yell at their workers to keep them moving at a fast pace. Remember, time is $!

Production• Once the whistle blows you have 5 minutes to create 20 toy
soldiers.
• Person #1 will begin the assembly line by quickly drawing their assigned part (the feet & legs) then passing it to student #2 to complete their task.
• When the paper gets to person #9 you should have a accurate toy soldier.
• Work quickly and accurately or your pay may be docked or you may get fired and replaced by an immigrant.
• You must produce soldiers that look just like the original.
• At the end of five minutes the factory manager will evaluate the toy soldiers. If they are not up to par they will be discarded.
