Factory Flow

Students read a background passage about Henry Ford’s assembly line and then categorize pros and cons for workers and consumers using a structured chart. This task teaches learners to distinguish between multiple perspectives and analyze the consequences of mass production. After completing the chart, students answer deeper questions requiring them to cite textual evidence and evaluate whether the assembly line was beneficial overall. The worksheet strengthens students’ ability to analyze historical developments, workplace changes, and economic outcomes. It also builds critical thinking by encouraging evaluation of technological innovation.
