This project involves creating a comprehensive plan for a fictional mill village set in the 1800s to early 1900s. Students are tasked with developing an understanding of historical industrial development, economic systems, community planning, and resource management. The project includes creating a backstory for the mill owner, planning mill production, and designing a layout for the village, encompassing elements such as worker housing, education systems, medical services, and general store inventory. Students will also explore labor conditions, workers' rights, and the economic system of the village, including wages and currency design. Additionally, they will assess the historical impact of the mill on the environment and community, culminating in a multimedia presentation that connects the village's components and offers a reflection on its relevance to modern communities.
