We'll
wrap up this week with our look at the Industrial Revolution.
Early next week, our focus will be on several reactions to
industrialization.
The Industrial Revolution - "Oral DBQ Essay Thingies"
We'll
give you five minutes to touch base in your groups from yesterday, and
then we'll go through the three different "essays" as a sort of
introductory activity to this chapter.
Your
"essay" should be in an outline style form, but it need not flow
smoothly or be perfectly worded. Each of you will be expected to talk.
You were asked to incorporate these:
- Some sort of attention getter or "hook" for a first line. (Tell us why you chose what you did.)
- Thesis that is responsive to your specific topic. (This should be carefully phrased, not just made up on the spot.)
- A minimum of three body paragraphs
- Each paragraph should be clearly in support of your thesis.
- Each paragraph should refer to evidence from at least two of the documents.
- You should document which sources you are using.
- You should have a concluding paragraph that ties things together.
The Industrial Revolution: Beginnings
"Why did the Industrial Revolution begin in England?"
The Industrial Revolution: Effects
"Evaluate the positive and negative effects of the Industrial Revolution."
The Industrial Revolution: Responses
"How were the evils of the Industrial Revolution addressed in England in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries?"
You'll
each get a copy of the other two packets, so you'll have a complete set
of these assignments to use for notes and information.
Industrial Revolution - Discussion
Tomorrow, we'll host a discussion on a variety of topics related to the
Industrial Revolution. You will be assigned a role for this. Basically,
your "character" will be most involved in one of the three phases of
the discussion, and those phases will mirror the three DBQs:
beginnings, effects and responses. We'll draw for roles, and you'll
have some time today to get ready for this.

Revolution. (Figure around 1 minute or so.)
The Industrial Revolution: Effects
Elizabeth Caskell (p. 724)
William Cooper (p. 724/DBQ)

Birmingham coal miner (p. 725) - not this class
Francis Cabot Lowell (p. 729)
Lucy Larcom (p. 730)
At
the beginning, you will be asked to briefly introduce yourself. We want
to know how you were affected by the Industrial Revolution, as well as
what you believe should be done.
The Industrial Revolution: Responses

David Ricardo (p. 735)
Thomas Malthus (p. 735)
John Stuart Mill (p. 735) - not this class

Charles Fourier (p. 736) - not this class
Karl Marx (p. 736)
Friedrich Engels (p. 736)
At
the beginning, you will be asked to briefly introduce yourself. We want
to understand your basic position, as well as what, if anything, you
believe should be done in response to the Industrial Revolution and its
effects.
You'll be provided with specific topics and questions for the rest of the discussion tomorrow.
Powerpoint "Introduction":
We're going to try something a little different today, and I want your
feedback on its value. We're going to watch an overview PowerPoint
presentation on Industrialization and Its Consequences. This is from the A World History for Us All curriculum
that I have borrowed a number of things from. The idea is that you
might watch this at the start of what they call, "Big Era 7: The Modern
Revolution." I think some of it is really good (some kind of goofy),
and it does a good job of linking the ideas we've been studying to
industrialization while previewing some of what is to come.
Charts and graphs and other things, Oh my! (That's a version of the "Lions, and tigers, and bears! Oh, my!" exchange from The Wizard of Oz...
Just thought you might want to know.) I've got five sheets containing
various styles and sorts of information. You'll get one of them, and
we'll share what we've got...
HOMEWORK for tomorrow - Thursday, December 10th
Please
finish up your reading in Chapter 25 with Section 4, "Reforming the
Industrial World." (pp. 734 - 740) It's a longer section, and the
quiz will be fill-in-the-blank.
We will have
our Industrial Revolution - Discussion tomorrow. Remember that you have
an assigned role from which you will be speaking.
Remember that you should read Chapter 25, Section 3, "Industrialization Spreads," in order to complete the "take home" quiz if you have not already done so.
