Industrial Revolution: A Worker's Life


Objectives
  • Explain how the Industrial Revolution led to changes in everyday life.

Agenda
  • Warm-Up #24 - What is this song about?

    Some people say a man is made out of mud
    A poor man's made out of muscle and blood
    Muscle and blood and skin and bones
    A mind that's weak and a back that's strong

    You load sixteen tons what do you get?
    Another day older and deeper in debt
    Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
    I owe my soul to the company store

    I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine
    I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
    I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
    And the straw boss said well a bless my soul

    [Chorus]

    I was born one morning it was drizzling rain
    Fighting and trouble are my middle name
    I was raised in the canebreak by an old mama lion
    Ain't no high tone woman make me walk the line

    [Chorus]

    If you see me coming better step aside
    A lot of men didn't a lot of men died
    One fist of iron the other of steel
    If the right one don't get you then the left one will
    [Chorus]
