SESSION 5: LETS MAKE A DEAL

INTRODUCTION o Follow questions on the guide on pg 35 o Write the answers on the board o When finished explain students that before mid- 1400 almost all books were copied and written by hand. It would easily be more than two months to make only one copy SHOW MANUSCRIPT Scribes: people trained to write and copy manuscripts ASK: who has heard about Johann Gutenberg? o No answer?? He was a German who invented moveable type in 1445 He printed the 1st book in Europe from a printing press. Gutenbergs Bible. After the printing press was invented it could make about 500 books in a week. Look to pg 36 to read a quote ACTIVITY: o Groups o Turn to pg 16 and 17choose ona of the 2 paragraphs for making the activity. o EXPLAIN: They have to make it the same length straight, no spelling mistakes. After all we will judge who did it best o We will take their time. TIMER o All students must be ready to participate. o Check students work o CALL TIME: Talk about challenges, mistakes, how difficult it was READ GUIDE TO TELL INFO. Pg. 36 ASK students about recent inventions related to sharing ideas and information that has been almost as important as the printing press? INTERNET

 Why internet is so important? For years people and scholars had to read a limited number of books and information available, sometimes they even had to travel long distances to get a book. INTERNET: o Information is made available around the world o Saves time and money of people (a lot of free information circulates on internet) o Internets increases productivity because it simply makes life easier o Shortens distances Distribute calculators to groups Write on the table o PRODUCTIVITY= output / worker hour EXPLAIN o Productivity: is the amount of goods produced by a certain numbers of workers, their resources, and the length of time worked. o OUTPUT: rate of resources used to creat goods and services o ASK: (BOARD) Determine productivity if 1 worker can complete 2 pg in one hour 2pg/1 hr = 2 pg per hour Other problem: scribes took 1 month to copy a 100pgs book If the scribed worked 40 hrs week and there were 160 worker hours (4weeks)what is the scribes labor productivity? 100 pages / 160 worker hr = 0.625 pages per worker hr Give students time to calc. LAST problem: one printer press could produce 500 books in a 40 hr workweek. If productivity was still being measured in pgs. and each book was 100 pgs. long, what is the printers labor productivity? 500 books* 100 pgs per book = 50000 pgs.

 Productivity = 50,000/40 worker hours = 1250 pgs. Per worker hour Give students time to calculate. Share their response o BRAINSTORM: make lists of other inventions that have changed productivity o Tell them to Consider not only technological advances, thare are also advances in transportation. (4min) o (board) Ask each group to share 1 item from the list, until there are no more ideas do not repeat items - LIST on pg 38 What natural barriers slow information?
