About This Lesson
In this workplace issues simulation, students will authentically experience what it is like to work on an assembly line. First, they will be asked to create their own T-shirt design for homework. The next day in class they will be part of an assembly line to mass produce T-shirts. Their reflection on the experience will help them to better understand the realities of one part of the economic/resource system that they are a part of as consumers.
