The students have been discussing the Industrial Revolution to start off the second half of the year. They learned what the causes and effects of the Industrial Revolution were. We had quite a few classroom discussions about how life is so different today because of the advancements made during this time period. Students looked at primary documents from people who lived during this time period and we discussed the feelings and hardships that these people experienced. As a summative assessment the students had to write their own newspaper. In the newspaper they all had to write why the Industrial Revolution is considered a revolution, but then they got the chance to choose from four other creative writing assignments to add to their newspaper. The students got to show a bit of creativity and originality while at the same time still displaying their understanding of this time period.
