One person from each group-

1. Grab an index card from me

2. As a group- make a list of three rules for 50 years In the future pertaining to technology

3. Give me the index card when you are done.

What are we noticing about the rules?

What are we preparing for?

Do we know what to expect?

Are the rules vauge?

Questions:

1. How does technology impact our society? What aspects?Is there something that could drastically change in the next few years?

2. How do societies react to massive technology change?

3.Can we predict and prepare for huge changes?

Essential Question:

How do societies/cultures respond to large scale changes?

Brainstorm-

The Industrial Revolution

An Industrial Revolution Defined:

Industrial revolution is defined as the changes in manufacturing and transportation that began with fewer things being made by hand but instead made using machines in larger-scale factories.

•New type of revolution changes the way people live and work

•Mostly refers to how machines helped people do their jobs faster

•Huge impact on society◦ more so than political revolutions◦ Economic, social, technological, etc

There have been Three IR's

1. Britain

2. US, Canada, Europe, Japan

3.The rest of the world (Still happening!)

Three phases to IR's

◦ 1. Farming, textiles, early factories & transportation

◦ 2. New inventions in weapons, sanitation, mass production and culture

◦ 3. Technological revolution (still going on today)

Do Now: GO BACK to our OG seating chart. Sigh.

Objective: Examine the path to the Industrial Revolution

Feel Good Fact: More millennials give to charity than any other generation.

Analysis Tracking

What: A way to keep track of writing progress

Why: To improve our critical thinking and historical analysis

When: After each unit test and larger writing assignments

Fill in your chart!

Review:

What are the three "phases" of an industrial revolution?

What do those three phases look like in the world today?

Europe After Napoleon

• On the continent: French Revolution & Napoleon lead upheaval all over Continental Europe• Spain, Russia, Austria, France, etc.

•Napoleons land had been divided back up- which caused some chaos

•- Congress of Vienna

England After Napoleon

• One country in Europe unscathed by Napoleon: England• Had earlier Civil War & American Rev- has recovered from that

•Strong empire (controlled the sea) and access to natural resources

•History of strong economic systems (banking, etc.)

•Perfect breeding ground for creativity

England Mid-1700s

•England in the early 1700s was covered in small farms• Independent farmers producing specialty crops/products

• Little contact/trade nationally

•"cottage industry"- business or manufacturing activity carried on in a person's home

What might the economy look like?

Three Phases-(In Britain)

Create a flow chart in your notes

Make a space for "Impact"

Starts with Agriculture: (Step 1)

•Series of breakthroughs in farming:

•Jethro Tull: invents a seed machine that drills small holes in the ground to make sure seeds can germinate – huge increase in crop yields

Step One Cont.

•Reaping Machine- Patrick Bell's invention was one of the first steps toward modern farming techniques.• Rotating wheel that fed the wheat into the

cutting instrument that used a scissor-like motion to cut the wheat.

Impact-

Impact:

•Better production Less farmers needed People moving to cities

•A surplus of cheap agricultural labor led to severe unemployment and rising poverty in many rural areas.• As a result, many people left the countryside to find work in towns and cities.

Introduction of Railway (Step 2)

•Richard Trevithick invents a steam locomotive in 1804 (Engine-doesn't move)

•George Stephenson builds the first railroad line in 1821 – from coal mines into London• First run was at the breakneck speed of…. 21 mph

• England could then ship food/goods from northern England to London, or even to other countries

On the Left-hand side:

Invention of Railways

Impact

•More transportation of crops Excess of crops/products

Larger economy AND population growth!

Homework:

•Critically read the Article "The Industrial Revolution" from the British Library.

•(will be turned in tomorrow)

•With your annotations:

•Look for key ideas

•Make predictions about the effects/impact of the Industrial revolution.

October 18, 2019

Turn In: Annotated article to turn in bin- back counter.

Do Now: In your notes- How did the Railway impact England?

Objective: Examine inventions of the Industrial Revolution

Feel Good Fact: A group of bunnies is called a "fluffle"

Teacher: What are you laughing at?

Railways led to:

- Increase in communication/ideas

-Trade

-Stimulation of the economy

- People moving to more urban areas

- Population growth

WHAT?!

Explosion of inventions! (Step 3)

•Conditions were right for an explosion of creativity• Series of major, major breakthroughs from everything to waterproof clothes

to early computers, to a cure for smallpox

•Impact: Greed of people and increase in resources leads to mass production and consumerism

What is consumerism?

Definition: the protection of the rights and interests of the general pool of buyers, or an obsession with buying material goods or items.

Examples:

a. Protective warning labels, fair pricing, safety testing

b. iphones, clothing, grocery stores

Thinking Critically.. We have just had a huge invention

boom that caused a huge population boom...What do we think is

going to happen??

Think back to our essential question.

Invention Time!

❖Each group will choose one invention from the IR- from my bucket

❖Your task is to create an advertisement for that invention!❖(Research your invention/inventor)

❖Display an image of it/diagram

❖Somehow convey its impact on Britain/the world (Why is it important)

❖Be creative and have fun with it!

Advertisements:

•Use logos to convince/persuade people to buy product

•Highlight product's importance/helpful appeal

•Normally has a slogan or catch phrase

•Show the image

•Has a price $$

What led to the IR? (Review)

1. Improvements in agriculture- more could be produced quicker

2.Introduction of railways- goods could be transported faster and further

3. Explosion of inventions- allowed work to be done quicker and easier (movement towards cities)

Turn in: Your tan half sheet to the class turn-in bin.

Do Now: Get your ad out. We will spend about 7 minutes finishing them.

Objectives: Economics 101

Feel Good Fact: Dogs dream about their humans.

Economics 101

Three natural laws of economics:

–Self-interest (People work for their own good)

–Competition (Forces people to make better products)

–Supply and Demand (Enough goods would be produced at a low enough cost to meet demand)

Supply and Demand?.

What is the concept of supply and demand?

How does it effect price?

Economy

•Increased production and increased population caused a massive growth of the economy!

•Two ideas of how economies should work started to emerge in Britain:•Mercantilism

• Capitalism

Mercantilism

Definition: The economic theory that trade generates wealth, which a government should encourage by means of protectionism.

Examples: regulating trade and using tariffs and other protective measures to achieve a balance of exports over imports.

Capitalism

Definition: An economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state.

Characteristics central to capitalism include:• private property, capital accumulation, wage labor, a price system and

competitive market

Activity

With your group: answer the following questions:

1. What are the benefits of Capitalism? What are the drawbacks?

2. What are the benefits of Mercantilism? What are the drawbacks?

3. Which economic theory do you agree with more?

Secondary Source Critical Reading

1. IDENTIFYING KEY IDEAS 2. MAKING ANNOTATIONS-DEFINING WORDS, MAKING

CONNECTIONS, READING BETWEEN THE LINES.

3. SUMMARIZING

October 22, 2019

Turn in: Nothing!

Do Now: In your notes- What is supply and demand? What is Capitalism? Mercantilism?

Objectives: - Analyze factory life during the Industrial Revolution

- Create a political cartoon commenting on the conditions in factories.

Feel Good Fact: 3D Printing is Now Allowing Blind People to “See” Famous Art

Question:

Why do organizations (businesses, schools, stores, etc.) have rules set in place? What is the purpose?

Cotton and Textile Industry•Before= "Cottage Industry"

•The invention of James Hargreaves "Spinning Jenny", and Edmund Cartwright's power loom allowed for a massive increase in the productivity of the cotton industry.

•These inventions sparked the need for a system of organized labor.

•Machines could be put in a large building and worked around the clock, instead of at various times by various farmers.

The Rise of Factories!

• With the explosion of inventions and population- more supplies are needed to be made at a faster rate.

•Cotton/textile industry is the first to make the move to factories.

•Britain was not prepared for this massive technological/social change.• There were no rules put in place yet surrounding labor

Primary Source Analysis!

Take out a highlighter and something to write with!

Historical lenses:

1. Choose two people at your table to be "Factory owners"

2. The other two people will be "Factory workers"

Write your lens at the top of the handout!

While reading the Rules:

•Factory workers- What are the effects of these rules? How might these rules impact you? What will your life look like?

•Factory owners- Why are these rules in place? What are they preventing?

Discussion Questions:

1. How do we feel about these rules? Which rules stand out? Why?

2. Why are these strict rules in place? What are they trying to accomplish? (Think back to our question)

3.What do these rules say about the treatment of industrial workers?

4. What impacts might these rules have on society?

5. What predictions can we make about the future?

Working conditions in Factories

Due to a supply/demand for labor:

•Harsh/strict rules surrounding work-DEATHS/DISEASE

•Long hours

•Little time for rest- exhaustion

•Low wages

•Women and children often employed

October 24, 2019

Turn In: Political Cartoons to bin

Do Now: In your notes- Why did factories come about? What were the conditions like in Factories?

Objective: Analyze primary sources about children during the IR

Feel Good Fact: Bats sing love songs!

Working Conditions

Due to a supply/demand for labor:

•Harsh/strict rules surrounding work-DEATHS/DISEASE

•Long hours

•Little time for rest- exhaustion

•Low wages

•Women and children often employed

Children in Factories

•Because people were payed so little in factories, women and children had to work to provide for their families.

- Children used for small size

•There were no regulations set in place to protect children in the workplace

•Children often worked instead of receiving an education.

Analysis and Critical Thinking

Analysis- detailed examination of the elements or structure of a source.

Critical Thinking- Digging deeper into the meaning behind the text-what can we read between the lines?

How are these two different? What might they both look like?

Child Labor – Primary Sources

When looking at the annotations we just made...

1. What does the source say about the treatment of children? What was

societies view of them?

2. Why were children being used in this way? What might be the rationale?

3. Children need the money- can they work? Is this morally wrong?

England was not prepared for this mass amount of change.*

October 25, 2019

Turn in: Nothing. Have your primary source analysis

Do Now: Reflect- how were working women viewed during the IR?

Objective: Examine the living conditions during the IR

*Mid unit quiz on Monday*

Feel Good Fact: looking at pictures of cute animals can make you more productive.

Factory labor

Textile industry

Women in factories

With the invention of Factories/labor...

Slums- a highly populated urban residential area consisting mostly of closely packed, decrepit housing units, inhabited primarily by impoverished persons.

Conditions:◦ - Overcrowded

◦ -Dirty

◦ - Poorly built/cheap

Slums in England

•Mass amounts of people moving to cities

•Need for cheap, quick housing

•Lack of sanitation

•Lack of resources

Crowded conditions & disease

•Cholera- One of the main killers of the industrial age. This deadly disease was water borne and spread through filthy cities with ease, killing thousands.

•Conditions in slums bred cholera.

•Side effects- diarrhea, dehydration, vomiting= death often!
