Voices from the Factory Now that you have learned about the women and children who worked in the factories, it is your turn to create a news story from their perspective. You are one of the most educated and best writers of all of the factory workers. You have been selected to write an article for the factory workers newspaper. It is your job to write the headline story of this month’s article on life in the factory. Your identity will be hidden and your employers will not see this story, so you can write honestly. You can feel free to tell the true story of life in the factory. In order to create your story, you will need to review the three sources on daily life that your researcher has provided for you. After reviewing the evidence, you will create your news story from the perspective of a factory worker. You will describe the working conditions and daily life of a worker in the mid-1800s. You will also focus on the effects of working in a factory. Step One: Review the Evidence Review each of the three pieces of evidence in the Buzz lesson.

Wake up, work, eat, work, eat, sleep, repeat. That’s the routine which we have to follow at Lowell Mills. When we wake up around five in the morning, we must hurry out of the apprentice housing and hurry to our work stations. It hurts even to walk though. Alas if we dawdle then we could be punished so all we could do was ignore the pain and keep moving. A few hours later we’re allowed to have our breakfast which consists of porridge, some water and oatcakes. Even though we are given these things along with water we aren’t allowed to sit and eat, we must stand. By noon, which is our first actual break as breakfast doesn’t have anytime designated for it, everyone is at least slightly tired. After thirty minutes, it’s back to work. By the time it’s three o’clock the fatigue is setting in. Everyone is just so tired and daydreaming about one day having fun instead of working all day or even going to school! Around eight at night we are allowed to go back to have dinner, which is the same thing as breakfast but instead of water we get milk. After that we return to the apprentice house and go to sleep. Working at the mill we must constantly be moving around. Our job is to fix the broken threads and to that we are constantly in motion, at once trying to fix the threads and also trying not get injured. The effects of working at the mill aren’t very positive. Sure you can make friends but that doesn’t make up for the amount of injuries most kids here experience. More rather than not at least someone has hurt themselves that specific day. PLS HELP FAST I NEED THIS DONE SOON
