Tenth grade students at Lyons High School conducted research about the Industrial Revolution by searching for answers to the following questions:
- How did the assembly line, new machinery,spinning mills, and modern factory system change productivity?
- What levels of education were necessary to work on these?
- Were specialized skills required to work on these?
- What was the impact of the assembly line, new machinery, spinning mills and modern factory on wage rates.
- Investigate today’s pay for assembly line jobs (auto industry, etc…), machine operators, factory jobs and textile jobs.
- Would the answers to the question be different today that during the Industrial Revolution?
When the research was completed students put their findings into a Power Point presentation.
