Social Studies 10: Industrial Revolution Unit Overview

!

! This unit will introduce students to the massive changes that occurred in all

facets of life because of the Industrial Revolution. This great change in the way goods

were produced had far reaching consequences, and is still effecting us today. Students

will explore the inventions and innovations that drove this revolution in economic

organization, and the positive and negative results in the social and political realm

because of the changes.

! The plan includes some lecture and discussion, but also chances for students to

think and produce in order to expand and demonstrate their understanding. Students

will be employing research and presentation skills at the start and end of the unit. They

will also complete a number of smaller portfolio assignments along the way.

! The activities in this unit will give students a good grasp on the basics of the

industrial revolution and will allow them to put themselves in the place of the people who

lived through this momentous change in the way our societies are arranged.

! In addition to the specific objectives listed under individual topics, the lessons in

this unit will generally help students to do the following:

! - Learn to describe cause and effect relationships! - Practice using criteria as a basis for making evaluations! - Learn to state how the parts of a historical situation are related to each other ! and to the whole. ! - Practice communication skills through debate and discussion

! ! Portfolio Assignments! ! -! 45%

! ! Invention Group Presentations! - ! 10%

! ! Notes Check!! ! ! -! 10%

! ! Unit Final Projects! ! ! -! 20%

! ! Exam! ! ! ! ! -! 15%

Note: Students will be familiar with the types of assessment and marking schemes

described here because they are very similar to those employed in the previous unit.

Portfolio Assignments: These will consist of many small assignments that will be

completed and handed in to be marked. Some will simply need to be completed, and

others will be marked out of a certain number of points. Most of the portfolio

assignments will be assessed formatively, and students will be given a chance to

improve their assignment for higher marks. This is a great way to encourage students to

look back at assignments, and to pay attention to comments and suggestions for

improvement. It will help them to become more self aware (knowing what they know and

what they may need to improve on), and more able to edit their own work. There will

also be formative quizzes included in the portfolios. These will also help students to

understand what they know and donʼt know, and also let students know what

information the teacher considers to be important (helpful for studying for exams).

3

Inventions Group Presentations: Students will be working in groups to research and

present information on important inventions of the industrial revolution. This will occur

first thing in the unit, and the information provided by groups will be referred back to as

we work through the unit. Presentations will be evaluated based on the studentsʼ

abilities to work in groups, their presentations, and any products they create to help

them inform their peers (e.g. pictures, diagrams, handouts, powerpoint presentations).

Notes Check: Students will be working on larger projects during the unit. This will give

the teacher the chance to look over studentsʼ notes, and ensure that they are decently

complete and organized. Students will receive a mark out of 5 each for Completeness

and Organization, for a total of 10 marks for their notes.

Unit Final Projects: Students will be completing projects based on the information

covered in this unit. They will be given choice from a number of possible projects. Each

student will complete more than one final project. This will help encourage students to

do something that may be out of their comfort zone. The projects will be exhibited to

peers and potentially other students and parents. We also have the option to set up an

online exhibition, but this will depend on the regulations for publishing studentsʼ work

and on the feelings of the students themselves.

Unit Exam: Students will also complete an exam on the information and concepts from

the unit. This will also allow for evaluation of value and skill objectives, not just

information.

-Know what the important inventions of the industrial revolution were, what they did, and why they were important.

S: -Practice collecting and presenting information.

-Be able to describe cause and effect relationships.

-Practice making concept maps which show the relationships between concepts.

1. Students will be given a list of important concepts from the unit, and asked to form concept maps using them. They will hand these in as portfolio assignments. They will do the same thing with the concepts at the END of the unit, and they will be asked to compare the two maps that they make. This will not only give them a review of what we learned, but they will be able to see how their conceptions have changed over the unit. The initial maps will also be very valuable to the teacher as diagnostic assessment.

2. Teacher will present a quick introduction to the Industrial Revolution, including the concept of standard of living and other important concepts.

3. Students will work in groups to research, compose, and present information on an important invention or innovation of the industrial revolution in Britain. Students will be guided by questions that they need to answer. Students will present their information as a group to the rest of the class. We will co-construct a rubric to evaluate the presentations before the research work begins.

4. Each group of students will become an expert on their invention, and will teach their peers about their area of expertise.

Unit Concept Maps and Reflection Assignment

Students will complete concept maps on the first day based on their current understanding of the main concepts of the unit. The main concepts will be provided as a starter. The format for the maps will be demonstrated so the students understand what will be required. Students will be asked to provide nodes with concepts, and connect them with lines, on which are words or phrases that explain the connection between the connected nodes. An example of this is shown below.

The maps from the first day will be saved, and after the unit material has been studied, students will complete another concept map. They will then be asked to analyze their two maps to determine what has changed over the intervening time period. They will write up a short reflection on this. The reflection and the second map that the students make will be marked. The initial map will not be marked.

Hopefully, the process of analyzing the current state of their knowledge and the change that has occurred will be helpful in preparation for the unit exam. If students find that they are missing information in certain areas, they can hopefully work to rectify those before the exam.

The map and reflection will be marked using the rubric included below. It will be provided to students before they complete their second maps and reflection.

List of Final Project Options

You will be completing 2 - 3 of the following projects. These are worth 20% of your mark

for this unit, so be sure to put your best work into them. The starred choices are worth 2,

so if you do it, you need only do one other choice. Otherwise, youʼll need to complete 3

separate choices.

1. Graph the increase in rail line in the U.S. in an aesthetically pleasing way. Answer the

following questions in a paragraph based on your graph and other knowledge youʼve

gained from this unit of study:

! - Why does this happen later in the U.S. than Britain?

! - How would things change because of the increased number of railroads?

2. Create a newspaper article(s) describing the changes brought about by the industrial

revolution. Include at least one picture (a found photograph or illustration, or something

youʼve created yourself) and one or more written stories related to the changes of the

industrial revolution. You can be very specific to a certain topic, or quite general.

3. Read “A Visit to the Cholera Districts” from the September 24th 1849 edition of the

Morning Chronicle. This letter describes a visit to a slum in London. Produce a summary

of the main points of the article including some of the evidence offered by the author. As

well, answer the following questions:

! - How has the media been used, in this case, to raise awareness about the living

! conditions of the people in Jacobʼs Island?

20

! - How does the language used differ from article in todayʼs newspapers? Which

! kind of language do you think is more effective?

! - How convincing do you find the article?

***4. Write a research paper using proper form, evidence, and citations.

! Possible Topics:

! ! - How was the IR different from the FR?

! ! - Womenʼs lives during the IR.

! ! - Childrenʼs lives during the IR.

! ! - Specific Invention

! ! - Debate between those who support / oppose industrialization

! ! - Debate between those who support / oppose globalization with reference

! ! ! to industrial revolution information (difficult)

! ! - IR effects on music (what kinds of music were popular? Why? Effect on

! ! ! instruments?)

5. Draw a timeline of the industrial revolution with illustrations (or photos/clipart etc) and

short descriptions. Be sure to cover all of the important inventions and events of the

revolution.

6. Create a new invention. Describe it, draw it, explain how it works, etc. How will this

invention change the world? Will it bring about a major change to how societies

operate? You can make a model of your invention if you choose.

21

7. Make a model of one of the inventions that we studied. Provide a description of the

history of the invention, what it does, and how it changed the lives of people during the

industrial revolution. How does your invention fit into the revolution? (i.e. when did it

appear relative to the rest of the revolution? How large was itʼs impact?)

8. Produce a video (in pairs if you want). Your video could be of a newscast set during

the industrial revolution (like HistoryBites: what if television had been around back

then?) or an educational video set in current day, but teaching about the past. Be sure

to include information from the unit in your video.

9. “Photography to Change the World” - Like Hine, use photographs to show people

what youʼd like to change about the world today. Include words, sentences, or

paragraphs to explain what you are trying to portray with your photos. You can make a

poster with them, produce a report including your photos, or some other way to present

your photos (e.g. slideshow or video with music if you want).

***10. (more involved / difficult) Do some research on a modern industry that is

considered unfair. (see Oxfamʼs website for information on these kinds of industries)

You will need to choose an industry and provide the following information about it:

! -A description of your industry -Its importance to Canadian society! -The countries involved in this industry -Why Oxfam considers this an unfair trade -The arguments for and against the current model of globalisation -Where your opinion lies on the issue

22

-Ways this industry could be improved and the various organizations attempting to promote change -What we can do as students and citizens of a developed nations to affect change -You will also be required to draw comparisons between your industry and the Industrial Revolution

Develop your information into paragraphs to create a report, or produce another product

to get your information across (a presentation, a video, a poster, etc). Be sure to use

proper citations to show where you got your information from.
