This outstanding resource has been designed to help students studying how the Industrial Revolution changed the Textile Industry between 1750 - 1900. It is suitable for a range of learners and includes some great ideas and strategies to try out with your students. The information for the market place activity on the on the new inventions which transformed the textile industry has been beautifully presented and carefully linked to the decline of the domestic system and the birth of factories and mills. The follow up activities look at how the new machines changed the way people worked and looks at some of their negative reactions.
The resource includes a PowerPoint with aims, objectives, a snowballing starter and an introduction and activity which gets students to draw links between the population explosion and the increased demand for more textiles. The next five slides, which can be printed off on A4 or A3, contain information on the Flying Shuttle,The Spinning Jenny, The Water Frame, the Mule and the Power Loom. I have also produced a summary table for each table for the students to complete. This could be printed off or copied off the board, depending upon your photocopy budget. I usually get each table to feed back on one invention and then complete a class version on the board, depending upon the ability of the class. The next few slides include a link to a video clip and explain the impact of the new machines on peoples lives. This is followed up two source based questions and a link to the song 'Poverty Knock.' Where appropriate, I have provided differentiated activities.
The aims and objectives for this lesson are:
Theme: Why did Britain have an Industrial Revolution 1750 - 1900?
Know: Why did Britain's Textile Industry change 1750 - 1900?
Understand: How did each new invention contribute to the changes?
