Key Stage 3
Key Stage 3 teachers may wish to use the oral history extracts and archive images as resources to explore the topic of social, cultural and technological change in post-war British society. The experiences of Ford factory workers from the 1970s onwards raise some interesting topics for debate.
For example:
- the opportunities and threats resulting from the move from manual work to automation
- the gender politics associated with women joining men in heavy industrial jobs on the factory floor
