The Industrial Revolution

The aim of this aim is to assess why coal became known as ‘black gold’.

Students learn how important coal was to the Industrial Revolution and how it was used in a number of areas.

However the interesting facts focus on its extraction and yet again the dangers involved for all concerned, especially children.

Students have to rate how effective the various measures put in place were to overcome some of the problems

They also have to tackle some historical hexagonals to get them thinking and linking all the information together.

A find and fix plenary should test their recall and knowledge from the lesson.

The lesson is enquiry based with a key question using a lightbulb posed at the start of the lesson and revisited at the end to show the progress of learning.

The resource comes in PowerPoint format if there is a wish to adapt and change.

I have also included suggested teaching strategies to deliver the lesson and there are differentiated materials included.

I have created these set of resources for ‘Britain as the first industrial nation and its impact on society’ which comes under the ideas, political power, industry and empire: Britain 1745-1901 in the National Curriculum. These lessons are also useful if you are studying this period at GCSE (such as AQA 9-1 GCSE Power and the People and OCR Explaining the Modern World) Pupils will learn the significance and impact of the changes in Britain as a result of the new inventions and be able to understand the causes and consequences of these. They will learn key historical terms such as migration, entrepreneur, industrialised and patent as well as being able to see the change and continuity of transport. They will be given sources to analyse such as the evidence of child labour in the coal mines as well as the lives of Victorian women and make historical inferences from them. Furthermore they will be able to write structured accounts and narratives of the changes as a result of Factory Reforms as well as answering GCSE style questions using structured thinking quilts. Each lesson comes with suggested teaching and learning strategies and are linked to the latest historical interpretations and ideas used by current history teachers. The lessons are fully adaptable in Powerpoint format and can be changed to suit. I have included a free lesson to give an idea of what is being offered. I strongly recommend using GCSE style questions from the exam board and markschemes to assess the pupils at the end of this unit, which are always available on line. The 12 lessons are broken down into the following: L1 An introduction to the Industrial Revolution in Britain L2 Why were people on the move? L3 What were the industrial towns like? L4 Transport in the Industrial Revolution L5 Richard Arkwright – a case study (free resource) L6 Factories and working conditions L7 Coal mining L8 Reform of working conditions L9 Victorian crime and punishment L10 Victorian prisons L11 The Metropolitan Police Force L12 Jack the Ripper Any reviews would be gratefully received.
