Imagine you (female) work in a factory in a large industrial city in England in the late 1800s. You live in a neighborhood with other factory workers and share the same living and working conditions they do. Think about what your daily life looks like. When do you wake up? What and when do you eat? How long is your workday? What hardships do you face? What interesting things may occur in your day-to-day life?
- Write five separate posts that explain different elements of a factory worker’s life
- For 2 of your 5 posts write comments (as if they are from your friend ). Each comment must be two sentences and respond using specific historical details
Example:
“This morning I woke up at 4 am and worked from 5 am to 5 pm. The sun was barely rising when I went into the textile factory for work and was already starting to set when I left for the day. I'm exhausted!”
