The English countryside
Starts with agriculture•England (early 1700s)• covered in small farms•Wealthy landowners buy smaller farms and create large farms• Large farms called enclosures • (the enclosure movement)
•Allowed farmers to work bigger fields = find new ways to grow crops
New Farming techniques• Jethro Tull invents a seed drill to make sure seeds can germinate •= huge increase in crop yields
•Crop rotation replaces three field system
•Experiment with selective animal reproduction average weight of sheep goes from 18 to 50 pounds
Significant increase in food supply
Ability to feed more people for less $$ and with
less labor
Increased Population
Surplus labor for new
factories (small farmers become tenant farmers
or move to the city)
More people end up with more $$ = more demand for
manufactured goods
Clothes, household goods, tools, etc

HOMEWORK – Disease/Sanitation Reading
• Read this short excerpt about the disease and sanitation in early Industrial Britain and illustrate a compelling point from it. • Be clear and descriptive—the goal is for you to
get a mental picture without sugar coating the actual conditions that existed. • Your drawing should be the full page and in
color. • This is due tomorrow if you don’t finish in class.
Wednesday, December 16th
Your Task…• In groups of 2-3 • Yes... You may choose your own group• Keep in mind… you want to be with people who will get their work
finished • As a group you need to create a visual representation of the causes of
the Industrial Revolution (we did a similar activity for the French Rev. Estates system )
• You must include visuals of the following:• Start of Industrial revolution • Economic• Political • Geographical• Transportation/RR
• It is up to your group on how the poster will look • However, it should convey the message as to why these are causes of
the industrial revolution with visuals and very few words. • DUE: Thursday, December 17th
