Industrial Revolution - 8. Convict transportation

This is a PowerPoint for the Industrial Revolution unit. It is lesson number eight.

Students will look at the social context for convict transportation within the British empire. Students will look at the social pressures that forced people into petty crime, and the decision of those in authority to send these convicts throughout the British empire. Students will identify the various penal colonies, and explain why Australia and New Zealand were chosen as the main destination for criminals in Britain.

To facilitate this analysis, students should be provided with convict profiles (not currently included) that outline crimes and punishments and they will be required to answer a set of questions based on these sources.
