purpose of this activity is to demonstrate that the production of most
goods can be broken down into a number of specific tasks (division of
labor), with each of these tasks assigned to specific workers
(specialization.) The pictures in the series show a consumer using a good or service that is the end result of the other four pictures, each of which illustrates a step in the production of the good or service. These steps are not in the right order – have each student place them in the right order. Click here for the following print activities.
