New Unit - The Industrial Revolution

We started the unit by watching this spoof documentary by the BBC & We Are History about the Industrial Revolution.

We then examined statistics from the industrial revolution from Fordham University & The Modern History Sourcebook.  Based on the statistical information, students completed an in class writing assignment: What was the Industrial Revolution?

C Period Homework - Read the two primary source documents and write a response on the back of the page that answers the question: What effect did machines have on people?
