8. TEKS and Objectives
We will…
I will…
(6B) analyze the impact of Henry Ford and Glenn Curtis (16A) analyze the causes of economic growth and prosperity in the 20s (27C) understand the impact of assembly- line manufacturing
Participate in an assembly line simulation and discuss the impact it had on manufacturing

9. Causes of Economic Prosperity
Automobiles
New Industries
Assembly Line
Buying on Credit
Speculation

10. The Rise of the Automobile
Henry Ford
Engineer and auto manufacturer
Goal = build affordable cars
Model-T Car
First car middle class could afford
Assembly Line = increased production

11. The Rise of the Automobile
Impact of the Automobile
Many employed by car industry
Stimulated steel, glass, and rubber industries
Growth of suburbs

12. The Rise of New Industries
New Discoveries/Inventions
Household Appliances
Vacuum, refrigerator, toaster
Radio and Motion Pictures
Trans-Atlantic telephone service

13. The Rise of New Industries
Glenn Curtiss
Developed the hydroplane
Could take off/land on water
Marked the birth of U.S. naval aviation

14. More Efficient Production
Ford
Introduced electric conveyor belts to assembly lines
Increased wages while still making huge profits

15. More efficient Production
Assembly line
Led to dramatic gains in productivity
Lowered prices for consumers
Skilled workers no longer needed

16. Age of Mass Consumption
Mass Production = Mass Consumption
Increase in advertisements
Higher wages increased spending
Buying on Credit
Pay small down payment
Rest paid in small monthly payments with interest

Many Americans still lived in poverty

20. Uneven Prosperity Economic Trouble
Tractors and electricity resulted in overproduction of crops which lowered prices
Railroads had to compete with cars
Minorities faced discrimination in employment

22. Lucy and the Chocolate factory

23. Reflection questions How did the manager treat Lucy and Ethel?
How do Lucy and Ethel’s attitudes about the work change throughout the clip?
In what ways to they handle the increase in pace? How might this relate to the quality of work or the quality of the product?

24. Artisan (Skilled Worker)
INSTRUCTIONS: Your goal is to make the best snowflake you can make! Be creative as there is not template to follow. Use whatever process you think is best and take all the time you need. Don’t forget to suffer! <3 uwo

25. Factory workers
INSTRUCTIONS: Your goal is to make the MOST snowflakes that you can make in the shortest amount of time possible. MANAGER: It is your job to make sure that the products are being manufactured quickly. You need to watch the factory workers to make sure that everyone is keeping up the pace. Additionally, you need to keep an eye on the product to make sure it is up to code. If there is a flaw in one of the snowflakes, you can throw it out. If you think the error in production is due to one of your workers, feel free to fire the worker without any warning or explanation and hire another “worker” (i.e. student from the classroom).

26. Snowflake production process
Worker 1: Fold the piece of paper lengthwise Worker 2: Match up the top and bottom of the snowflake and fold crosswise Worker 3: Cut the first portion of the snowflake Worker 4: Cut the second portion of the snowflake Worker 5: Cut the remaining portion of the snowflake

27. Reflection questions
What are the major differences between the specialized vs. unspecialized workers (skilled vs. unskilled)?
Which would you rather be? Why?
Would you prefer to buy a product from a specialized worker or an unspecialized worker? Why?
How did the conditions affect the work of the specialized artisan vs. the unspecialized factory workers?
From the perspective of the factory worker, what would it be like to do the same job for 12+ hours a day?
How did the manager influence the productivity and work environment for the factory workers?
Overall, what are the costs and benefits of the assembly line?
