World History 2, Quarter 1, Unit 2 of 3 Age of Revolution: Causes and Consequences The Industrial Revolution, 1700 1850 Overall days: 13 (1 day = 50-55 minutes) Overview Purpose This unit introduces students to the Industrial Revolution of the 18th and 19th centuries in a global context. Industrialization was made possible by the fossil fuel revolution, a fundamental breakthrough in human history. Students explore how exploitation of coal and steam energy allowed humans to manufacture goods on a much larger scale than ever before. The unit asks students to set industrial developments in England in a global context of transoceanic trade, American slavery, and the revolution in transport. Students then investigate how societies elsewhere in the world took part in the Industrial Revolution, many of them producing raw materials for the world market rather than industrializing. Content to be learned Define the Industrial Revolution and understand the global context of the Industrial Revolution that began in Britain. Explain the expanding world market economy s relationship to early industrialization in Britain. Assess the causes of industrialization in Britain. Assess the social conditions and consequences of early industrialization in Britain. Understand the causes and consequences of the abolition of the trans-atlantic slave trade. Processes to be used Analyze cause-and-effect relationships that linked the expanding world market economy of the 17th and 18th centuries with early industrialization. Organize information to show relationships between and among various individuals, systems, and structures connecting early industrialization in Britain with its commercial relations with continental Europe, India, and the Caribbean. Compare and contrast differing values, behaviors, and institutions related to social conditions in Britain during early industrialization. Analyze multiple factors of causation related to the abolition of the trans-atlantic slave trade by Britain, the United States, and France. Essential questions students should be able to answer by end of unit What global patterns of change, both positive and negative, contributed to the early industrial and energy revolution in Britain? What particular conditions or advantages help explain why Britain led the way in developing new energy sources and industries? Why did industrialization in Britain have both positive and negative social consequences? Why did Britain and other countries abolish the trans-atlantic slave trade?

Notes, Clarifications, and Prerequisites New to the grade span is the idea of summarizing key events along with including the context of those events. Instruction should model for students how to provide historical context in a written summary. Also new to the grade span is the skill of tracing patterns from one era to the next in order to capture changes in social or economic life. Instruction should include examples of those social and economic patterns. Please be cognizant of the influence of the Industrial Revolution on the abolition of the trans-atlantic slave trade. The American Revolution should be used as review in order to better illustrate the ideologies that arose with the French Revolution.

Students will be able to utilize visual and mathematical data presented in charts and tables, interpret evidence, develop historical perspectives, draw comparisons across various regions, challenge arguments of historical inevitably, identify cause and effect, and analyze issues and problems of the past. The strategies listed below represent a menu of choices and possibilities to support each learning objective. Students may enjoy hearing the valuable background information provided on the Witness History CD. The following teaching strategies are aligned to the order of the learning objectives. To ensure that students will be able to analyze the national and global origins of industrialization in Britain in the late 18th and early 19th centuries (4 days): Teach Lesson 2 (The Industrial Revolution: What Difference Did It Make?) in the Panorama Teaching Unit (The Modern Revolution) in Big Era 7 in World History for Us All. Standard 2: Historical comprehension To ensure that students will be able to explain the benefits and problems that came with industrialization in Britain and other countries (3 days): Teach Lessons 1 (What Was So Steamy About Industrialization in Britain?) and 2 (What Was So Hot About Industrialization in Britain?) in the Landscape Teaching Unit 7.1 (The Industrial Revolution as a World Event) in Big Era 7 in World History for Us All. Standard 2: Historical comprehension To ensure that students will be able to analyze the connections between industrial and primary product economies before 1850 (2 days): Teach Lesson 3 (How Did Industrialization of Textile Production Change British Policies Toward Trade?) in the Landscape Teaching Unit 7.1 (The Industrial Revolution as a World Event) in Big Era 7 in World History for Us All. To ensure that students will be able to identify and account for the reasons for the abolition of the trans-atlantic slave trade by Britain, the United States, and France (4 days): Have students read the corresponding sections in the textbook that pertain to abolition. Hold a class debate on the statement, The British Parliament should abolish the trans-atlantic African slave trade. In organizing the two debate teams, identify what sort of individuals and interests in Britain and its colonies are to be represented on each side.

Age of Revolution: Causes and Consequences The World History 2, Quarter 1, Unit 2 Industrial Revolution, 1700 1850 (13 days) Version 2 Additional Teaching Strategies The following pages list strategies for the concepts being studied and are listed in the order of the learning objectives: Cause-and-effect relationships between countries that industrialized versus countries that produced raw materials for industrialized countries (Transparencies, p. 140) The impact of industrialization on Britain (Transparencies, p. 116) Impact of the Industrial Revolution on the world today from the perspective of different societies (Viewpoints, p. 47) Brainstorm reasons why the Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain. Create a class chart to be displayed on the wall for easy reference. Have students compare an English cotton mill and a Caribbean slave plantation as systems of mass production and factory labor. Can a sugar plantation producing for the world market be described as a factory? What impact did commercial agriculture using slave labor in the Americas have on the Industrial Revolution? On a world map, label Britain s major international commercial connections and interests during the period of early industrialization. How did these connections and interests contribute to the Industrial Revolution? Standard 3: Historical analysis and interpretation Compare political, social, economic, and technological conditions in Great Britain and India in the later 18th century. Which of those factors might explain the more rapid development of industry in Great Britain than in India? Research the conditions of children employed in factories and mines in England in the early 19th century. What changes in children s working conditions were brought about by the Factory Act of 1833? Use scaffolding techniques and differentiated instructional guidelines suggested by the Pearson Teacher s Edition (pp. T10-T31) for struggling learners. Formative Assessments Assessed Curriculum Provide feedback to students through daily monitoring of student understanding using a variety of methods. For example, use exit cards. Have students answer questions on paper before they leave the class. Keep the activity prompt specific and brief to check for understanding of the day s concepts. For instance, to check students comprehension of the decline of the trans-atlantic slave trade, ask students to respond to the following prompt: What was one important factor in the British abolition of slavery that was not related to industrialization? To assess the progress of understanding: how to analyze the national and global origins of industrialization in Britain in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, have students create a graphic organizer that lists the domestic and global resources associated with industrialization in Britain. From this graphic organizer, have students write a short response to the following prompt: The Industrial Revolution in Britain was mainly a consequence of domestic circumstances and had little to do with its colonies. Do you agree or Providence Public Schools, in collaboration with the D-13

Students should substantiate their claims with evidence from the lessons and the textbook. Standard 3: Historical analysis and interpretation how to explain the benefits and problems that came with industrialization in Britain and other countries, have groups of students construct a dialogue in a coffee house in 1830 between the following characters who reflect upon how and why their lives have been changed by industrialization. The characters should include a landowner, a factory owner, a male cotton mill worker, a female cottage lace maker, and an agricultural laborer. The students should perform their dialogues for the class. how to analyze the connections between industrial and primary product economies before 1850, have students create an Industrial Revolution natural resources/raw materials needs wants graphic organizer to help them understand the cause-and-effect relationships between industrial and primary product economies before 1850. how to identify and account for the reasons for the abolition of the trans-atlantic slave trade by Britain, the United States, and France, have students construct a timeline of the major events leading to the abolition of the trans-atlantic slave trade by Britain, the United States, and France. Use the timeline rubric (Assessment Rubrics, p. 32) for scoring the timeline. Standard 1: Chronological thinking Summative Assessment To address the Essential Questions, have students write a five-paragraph informative essay focusing on the global patterns of change, either positive or negative, that contributed to the early industrial and energy revolutions. Use the Pearson assessment rubric for scoring.
