(Depth Study: The Industrial Revolution)

Historical Context of the Overview - The Industrial Revolution, developing first in eighteenth-century Britain, gave rise to economic changes that have had an enormous impact on society. An obvious result was urbanisation, but the Industrial Revolution also contributed to other population movements such as the slave trade, emigration and convict transportation. The Industrial Revolution also encouraged European nationalism and imperialism. While the Industrial Revolution created wealth for some and support for capitalism, it also created a new class of urban workers who were forced to endure poor living and working conditions. The resulting social discontent created support for new political ideas such as socialism. At the end of this period, a buildup of tensions among Europe's great powers contributed to the outbreak of World War I, the first global war.

Students with special needs: Adjustments: the adjustments in this unit are suggestions only. Adjustments are measures or actions taken in relation to teaching, learning and assessment that enable a student with special education needs to access syllabus outcomes and content on the same basis as their peers. The types of adjustments made will vary according to the needs of the individual student. Assessment: Students with special education needs should be provided with a range of opportunities to demonstrate achievement of identified outcomes. Evidence of achievement can be based on a range of assessment for learning experiences, such as observation during teaching and learning, work samples or planned assessment experiences. They will require adjustments to assessment practices in order to demonstrate what they know and can do in relation to syllabus outcomes and content. In some cases alternative assessment strategies may be needed. In this unit, an alternate assessment experience may be offered instead of the structured essay.

The population movements and changing settlement patterns during this period (ACDSEH080)



Once students have had time to complete this, have a class debate arguing out the position that students have taken in regards to the central statement above.



Teacher to administer the debate. At end of debate, teacher to give feedback on the quality of argument and evidence to support the argument. Discuss if students have changed their opinion as to the statement over the course of the lesson, and what factors made them change their minds (constructivist theory).



Teacher introduction. Migration and population movements. Teacher gets students to read the small article from the school history site on migration. In pairs, they need to quickly identify 5 different ways that people migrated from their original home. (should be international migration, forced transportation, British countryside to British cites, etc). Quick discussion to follow.

Students: 

outline and explain population movements in Britain, eg movement from country villages to towns and cities, and emigration to other

Perspectives: Did life improve for those who moved from the countryside to the city? 

Students split into pairs. One student is to be a real estate agent who needs to sell a typical workers house in an industrial city of Britain c.1850. They are to create a brochure that highlights all of the positive qualities they can think of or put a ‘spin on’ to help ensure they can sell the house. The other student is to write a letter to the city council about this house they have just bought off the real estate agent and make a claim that they have been misled and why the house is such an undesirable house. Once finished, the class is to have a discussion as to how perspectives can alter a source and use examples from their pairs work to illustrate their points. Volunteers can present or read their work to the class.



Teacher leads discussion about whether people would be better off in the city or the country. Why did people move in the first place?

Introduction to working conditions in factories. 

Teacher presents image of “tremendous sacrifice” cartoon to class. Students to do a Colour/Symbol/image reaction to the cartoon (Making thinking visible book activity page 119). Alternatively, students to make a list of adjectives that come to mind when they see this cartoon. Teacher leads discussion, introducing more complex questions concerning cartoon analysis. Suggested Adjustments: to build knowledge of factory working conditions, student watch selected video clips and complete a ‘W’ chart. Extension Activity: Students to research other political cartoons or images surrounding factory labour during the industrial revolution. They are to synthesize and create their own political cartoon. They are then to write 1 paragraph explaining their cartoon and why it is satirical.

Students: 



This task provides the teacher an assessment FOR learning task, whereby feedback and measureable targets will assist the students in their ability to work to criteria, research adequately and combine evidence for the purposes of constructing an empathetic perspective



There is a strong opportunity for peer marking as all the films produced will be viewed by the class as a whole.



Teacher feedback and targets should consider the end of topic Assessment OF learning task and its requirements.

Perspectives and empathy task :A film spectacular!





Students are to be split into two halves.





One half is going to have the perspective of a factory owner who is happy to exploit his workers and focus upon the positive factors of factory production.





The other half is going to be from the perspective of reformers and/or children who want to highlight the cruelty of the working conditions in factories of the industrial revolution.



No matter which perspective the student has, they are to complete a researched source portfolio of the teachers devising. For their perspective they should select original written sources from the time (there are a lot surrounding the 1833 factory Act reform movement), pictures, photos, political cartoons, and documented witness accounts (from parliamentary hearings). These collected sources need to analysed and have annotations and summaries made of them that encourage the student’s greater understanding of their perspective and some kind of usefulness evaluation attached to them. This research portfolio can be collected and marked.

discuss positive and negative consequences of the Industrial Revolution, eg the growth of cities and pollution and the development of trade unions

assess the short-term and long-term impacts of the Industrial Revolution,

Suggested Adjustments: consideration given to whether the student takes the perspective of a factory owner or workers; researched source portfolio should contains suitable material that meets the readability level of student; scaffolds and models provided to guide student to annotate and summarise sources

including: -

Using similar techniques, the student is to create a short film, using movie maker, which creates one of the following.



For those looking at the perspective of reformers and child workers, they are to create a 12 minute film trailer, using the techniques of a horror film trailer, entitled; “The industrial revolution: A Horror Story!” (or they can make up their own title). They can use creepy, doom-laden music and various clips and pictures showing the horrors of factory life during the industrial revolution.



For those looking at the perspective of factory owners who exploited children and saw the factory as a great thing for Britain, they are to create a 1-2 minute promotional film entitled “The Factory; Making your life better” (or they can make up their own title). They can use jolly, heroic music and various clips and pictures showing factories as great places to work and bringing great benefit to society. Students can then present their films over a couple of lessons. Teacher can mark them as an assessment task, or award various “academy awards” in different areas. Suggested Adjustments: student to work in small group to produce film trailer; targeted teacher support Extension Activity: As a challenging follow up to these lessons, each student is to write up a diary entry that is written from the perspective that THEY DIDN’T make a film about. They are to empathise with their character and explain to a parliamentary enquiry details about their experiences in the factory and why they believe working in the factory is a good/bad thing.
