For my first project I decided to to the second industrial revolution. I chose this American event because I wanted to learn more about why this event in the early 19th century was so important. For my history piece I decided to make a diary of the Henry Ford because he was an important part of the revolution. He changed the way of motorized travel/s. For my ELA piece I decided to do an essay on Henry Ford. I did it based on his full life story and why he was a big character during the second industrial revolution. Finally for my art piece I decided to do a diorama of a major city during the time of this American event. I wanted to show evolving parts of the city at the time to show what it was like in those living conditions in a major city that was still changing. The major city I decided to do is New York City. NYC was not the same in the early 19th century compared to the now a day New York we know.
Art
This is my art piece. This diorama briefly shows how NY was. Basic roads, very minimal buildings, newer train tracks and more. There were many evolving parts that were changing during the second industrial revolution. I wanted to do a piece based on New York city at the time and how it was evolving at the time so people can see how a major city was changing and evolving at the time.
English
For my english piece I decided to make an essay that was based on Henry Ford. I wanted to write something that would recap and embrace Henry Ford so people can learn about him to another extent. I chose Henry Ford because he played a big role in the second industrial revolution. He helped in a big way evolve the way normal people lived.
Social Studies
For my social studies I did a diary of Henry Ford. I wanted to do a week in the life of Henry Ford. I book binded it to make it look old and I put water and tea stains to make it look aged. I wanted to put a perspective of a first person view of the life of Henry in his perspective. I described what it was exactly like as his inventions were being created and how well his company grew so quickly.
