Guided Reading
DIRECTIONS: Now that you have a purpose for reading, and you have identified the key elements of the reading, we will take turns reading the passage below as a class.
As you read, if a certain part of the reading makes you think of a text to text, text to self, or text to world connection, write it either in the side margin next to the notes in which you made the connection or at the bottom of your outline. Remember, text connections can also be questions you have about the reading.
Recall the text to text, text to self, and text to world strategy:
As you read, if a certain part of the reading makes you think of a text to text, text to self, or text to world connection, write it either in the side margin next to the notes in which you made the connection or at the bottom of your outline. Remember, text connections can also be questions you have about the reading.
Recall the text to text, text to self, and text to world strategy:
- Text to text references: When a certain word, phrase, or sentence reminds you of something else that you have read.
- Text to self references: When a certain word, phrase, or sentence reminds you of something about your own life.
- Text to world references: When a certain word, phrase, or sentence reminds you of a world issue or event.
IMPROVING PRODUCTIVITY
PRODUCTIVITY
During Industrialization, many industrialists figured out ways to make manufacturing their products more effective and efficient. They learned to increase their productivity.
Productivity is the amount of goods that are produced by workers in a given time period with a given set of resources. Economists look at productivity as the amount of output per unit of input used. Output is the good that is made or service that is provided by a company. The input is all the productive resources used in making the product or providing the service.
So, let's break this down to help you understand all of this. Output is defined as the good that is made or service that is provided by a company. Goods are things that people want to buy. Goods are physical things that can be touched and used in some way. Services are actions that people are willing to pay other people to perform.
The input is defined as all the productive resources used in making the product or providing the service. Productive resources include three categories of resources. These are natural resources, human resources, and capital resources.
Natural resources, if you will recall, are things that are found in nature and are valuable to humans like coal, water, trees, and land. If you will also recall, natural resources are used to make raw materials. Raw materials are the basic materials used to build something or make a product for people to use. So when natural resources are processed or refined into ingredients used in making a product, they become a raw material. For example, trees are a natural resource that are processed into the raw material of lumber. Crude oil is a natural resource that is refined to make the raw material of petroleum. When economists look at the input of natural resources, they also include the raw materials that these natural resources provide.
Human resources describe the way humans help to make a product. Human resources involve the engineers who think of ideas to make or improve the product and the workers who produce the product.
Not all human resources are equal. Some human resources are worth more than others because their contribution to the product is more valuable. For example, a worker that is skilled in how to make vanadium steel is going to be more valuable than an unskilled worker who installs the seats in a vehicle. The worker who knows how to make vanadium steel has a special skill that most other people do not have. There are many people who could do the job of the worker who installs the seats in the vehicle. The services that the vanadium steel engineer provides are scarce or harder to find than the services provided by the seat installer. Therefore, the vanadium steel engineer's skills are considered more valuable because their service is harder to find. This is how salaries and wages are determined. The more valuable a person's skill is to a company, the more they are paid.
Capital resources are the man-made things such as buildings, tools, machines, and equipment used in manufacturing products. They are the goods produced and used to make other goods and services. Basic categories of capital resources include tools, equipment, buildings, and machinery. However, any good used by a business to produce other goods and services is classified as a capital resource, including mundane items such as shipping boxes, invoice forms, pens, or file cabinets.
Industrialists were men who owned or managed large industries. Industrialists contributed to the growth and expansion of industry because they were the ones who actually invested their time and money into building and expanding industries. They also contributed to industrial growth and expansion by learning and implementing new and improved ways of increasing productivity in their industry.
In conclusion, you have learned a great deal in Topic 1. In the Topic 1 Lesson, you learned that industrialization actually has two meanings that are related. It is the process of using power-driven machinery to manufacture goods and also the process by which a country moves from being a society that makes its money mainly by farming to a society that makes its money mainly by manufacturing goods and services.
In Lesson 1, you learned that Great Britain was the first to go through industrialization and that it started with businessmen who paid farm women to make their clothes. As the idea became more and more popular, new machines were created in order to help make clothes faster and easier. These machines grew in size until eventually factories were built to house the new machines and produce the textiles needed to make clothes. You also learned that the time period in which industrialization occurred became known as the Industrial Revolution.
In Lesson 2, you learned that Great Britain attempted to keep their factories a secret but was unable to do so because Samuel Slater memorized the factory system plan and brought it to the United States. You learned that he innovated the British factory system by combining all the aspects of production in one factory. You also learned that Eli Whitney played a part in U.S. industrialization by promoting the use of interchangeable parts and convincing U.S. leaders by demonstrating how to use interchangeable parts in gun manufacturing.
In Lesson 3, you learned that natural resources played a large part growing and expanding industries during American industrialization. America had a great supply of land for building factories. America also had a great deal of natural resources. These natural resources were processed and refined into the raw materials needed in building factories, the machines that made the products within the factories, and the products themselves.
In Lesson 4, you learned that a new workforce played a part in growing and expanding industries. You learned that women were the ones who gave industrialization its start because they were the only ones willing to work in the factories. You learned that children also entered the workforce by assisting adult workers to make production more efficient. You learned that as industries grew, a shortage of women and children workers developed. The shortage problem was solved when immigrants and African Americans entered the workforce and provided the needed labor to grow and expand industries. Finally, you learned that as the U.S. industrialized, men found it harder to remain small farmers and many entered the workforce doing jobs that changed natural resources into raw materials.
In this lesson, Lesson 5, you learned that that increasing productivity was another way the United States was able to grow and expand industries. You learned that productivity is the amount of goods that are produced by workers in a given time period with a given set of resources. You learned about the factors involved in increasing productivity and that industrialists helped make U.S. Industrialization successful by increasing industry productivity.
In Topic 1, we focused on what industrialization is, how it occurred, and the reasons America was successful in industrializing. In the Topic 2 Lessons, you will learn about the industrialists' contributions to the success of U.S. industrialization and the pros and cons of their contributions.
