Full lesson, designed for use with KS3 students to explore the shift from cottage industry to the factory system, including why this change occurred, what the impact was, and how people responded.
The lesson begins with an introduction to ‘cottage industry’, accompanied by a short video (video link in slide notes).
This is followed by teacher input to explain why this changed to a factory system.
Students will then complete a task evaluating whether or not the shift to the factory system had a positive or negative impact, by colour-coding a set of cards to show which impacts had a positive / negative impact on the workers and / or on industry.
Students will then move into looking at the response to the new factory system, including the protests carried out by the ‘Luddites’. This includes a short video (link in slide notes) accompanied by some questions for students to answer as the video plays (I recommend playing the video twice through as it is only two minutes).
Includes lesson PowerPoint, two task worksheets and an information sheet. All can be edited to adjust lesson if desired.
