Industrial Revolution Worksheet Crossword Puzzle -- Karl Marx and Radical Socialism

In my own classes, I see the value of making learning fun. That’s why I try my best to develop activities and puzzles that students find engaging, even as they make a teacher’s professional life just a little bit easier!

This Industrial Revolution Crossword Puzzle Worksheet focuses on one of the primary reactions to industrialization: the development of radical socialist / communist theory by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.

On the next answer page, you’ll find a handy table that pairs up each answer with its corresponding clue. This page will let you review terms and names with your students without having to hunt for the answers on a puzzle grid.
