Lesson Four:
Lesson Five:
Lesson Six:
Lesson Seven:
- Start off with the Cause and Effect Unit sheet. Have students fill out three things they already know/make predictions about this final topic in our Revolutions Unit. Share out a few.
- State that this revolution is the one that affects us the most out of the four revolutions we've studied. Ask why. Look around. What examples/legacies of the IR are around us? What around us hasn't been affected by the IR? Its harder than you think, I challenge you to come up with something.
- Review the Chapter Questions for this topic. Due at the end of the unit.
- Look at the different parts of the British Empire and and read about the colonies to fill in this chart.
- During this activity have a picture of the British Empire on the board showing just how vast it truly was.What do you notice about the empire? What comes to mind when you hear "the sun never sets on the British Empire?" (the empire is so vast and that is always at least one place on earth that has the sun shining on it and belongs to the British Empire. Can you imagine having to gain and maintain control of something to vast and how hard that would be?)
Lesson Two:
- Agricultural Revolution Gslides and guided notes. Include a mini lesson on Punnet Squares and selective breeding.
- Then students will watch a Gslides that introduces some of the inventions that were developed during this time. Notes.
- Take students on field trip to examine lasting legacies of the transportation improvements from the IR.
Lesson Three:
- Recap yesterday's field trip about transportation.
- Students will try to predict the top ten inventions of all time. Then show students the list.
- Next have students follow the GSlides on Work and Technology. Notes. Students will complete a walk and talk about half way through to discuss topics learned so far in today's PPt. Continue with the rest.
Lesson Four:
- GSlides on the Affects of the IR on Society with guided notes.
- Show the page about Luddites and their actions against the IR.
- Show videos about Child Labour in the IR & Turning Points in History: IR
- Optional: Complete the Sweat Shop Simulation Web Quest
- Have students check their clothing for "made in..." tags. Create a list on the board of where their clothing is from. Brainstorm why our clothing comes from these countries mostly compared to Canada and/or the US. (optional) Show a clip of Made in Bangladesh
- Sum it all up with Crash Course's video on the IR
- Watch a video, Fashion's Dirty Secrets. This will highlight the effects of the fashion industry on our world ( a whole lot more polluting than most people will believe)
Lesson Five:
- Final Industrial Revolution Project: Inventions Project. Slides. Docs.
- Alternative - for another time. Complete your own Industrial Revolution Adventure - over the next couple of days you will choose and complete 4 tasks.
Lesson Six:
- Complete their Cause and Effect sheet for the final revolution.
- Revolutions Project. Inquiry questions: watch this video about creating inquiry questions: inquiry questions video
- Students will chose a modern day (1970 and on) revolution (or revolutionary event) and examine the effect of CHANGE that event has had. Students will be able to choose their own medium to demonstrate their learning.
- Click here for a quick guide on how to create citations in the APA format. A great tool to use is citation machine. But please make sure you always double check the info that it was able to pull up as often it is missing pieces that you are easily able to add in. If you have any questions about citations, please ask me.
- See some student examples.
Lesson Seven:
- Students will start with completing the Google Forms quiz on all of the Revolutions we have studied.
- Students will play a game of Kahoot! to review and wrap up the unit.
