An Introduction to the Industrial Revolution
2
A mini simulation….. Make a piece of stationary with any design, logo, art you choose. If you have colored pencils or markers you may use them. Only requirement is that it is appropriate and that the stationary paper has 3 holes punched for a binder (no tools allowed). You have 3 minutes!
3
Discuss: Why did we do this activity?
What does this show about how life and work changed after the Industrial Revolution? Make a bulleted list on the right of your cornell notes. Given the above, do you think that the Industrial Revolution was a mostly positive or mostly negative or a mixed change for society? Think pair share.

Historical Eras Leading to the Industrial Revolution
Pre Industrial Middle Ages Agricultural Revolution Cottage Industry Industrial Revolution
5
What was life like in the pre-industrial Middle Ages?
6
Farming in the Middle Ages
Villages fed themselves Collective (all together) 3 Field System Animals grazed in common pastures Grain Oats Fallow
7
Disadvantages Grain Oats Fallow
Land use inefficient - fallow & animals Farmers didn’t experiment with new farming techniques Grain Oats Fallow
8
Forces for Change Population growing French blockade
So, more food needed French blockade no corn

For your review of yesterday respond to these questions:
What did you learn about pre-industrial life? What were the disadvantages of pre-industrial life? What were the forces for change?
11
The Agricultural Revolution = Farming Changes
The Agricultural Revolution = Farming Changes Barley Wheat Manor Turnips Clover
12
Enclosure Movement
13
1st change in Ag Rev = Enclosure Movement-1750s
= Wealthy landlords fenced in pastures Experimented Ended strips Fields claimed as private prop Villages lost common lands People lose power And, became poorer
14
Crop Rotation (Scientific Farming)
1 = positive result of enclosure Fields depleted of nutrients replenished by planting different crops (pea family) Fields no longer fallow

Other Discoveries Seed drill planted seeds efficiently New crops corn

18
Results of Agricultural Rev
More food available Population increased urbanization (move to cities) British poverty grew Changed village structure
19
Conclusion: Do flow chart 2
Summarize the agricultural revolution, including the enclosure movement, crop rotation, new crops and machines. After, work on Cornell

21
Summary Due to forces of change such as ________and_______, farming changed drastically in the eighteenth century. The new enclosure movement which consisted of ______allowed farmers to_______. One idea that came out of this change was the farming method of _______ which replenished______and eliminated the need for ______. In conclusion, the Agricultural Revolution changed society in four main ways: ______, ________,_______, and_______.
22
Cottage Industry and Early Capitalism
23
Merchants’ Role Supplied cottages by taking supplies
from spinning cottage to weaving to dying to sell cloth Merchants sell product & make profit Merchant=entrepreneur (organizes and runs own business)
28
Capitalism An economic system based on: Cottage industry = early cap’m
Private (ppl) ownership free competition profit Cottage industry = early cap’m
29
Effects of Cottage Industry
Alternative source of $ for peasants Flexible work Big profits for new class of merchants Investors?

31
The Textile Industry & Factory System
32
Why might children be an asset to early factories?
33
Textile Industry and Factory System Invented
Cottage industry couldn’t keep up New inventions
34
Spinning Jenny - Spins 16 threads
35
Power Loom Used power
36
Water Frame Spun stronger yarn , can operate w/ children
37
Cotton Gin Separates seeds
38
Spinning Mule Spun thin yarn
39
Why Factories? New machines too big for cottages
Located near power source (water)
40
Effects of Factories Prices lower Workers lose control
Division of labor Britain’s textile industry Urbanization

42
Think-Pair-Share Read through your notes first, then discuss the following with your neighbor. Be prepared to answer: What was Cottage Industry? Who made big profits? What is capitalism? Explain how Cottage Industry is capitalistic? What were the effects of Cottage Industry? Why did the Textile/Factory system emerge from the cottage industry? What were the effects of factories? How were early factories powered?
43
Steam Engine Energy for the Industrial Revolution
44
The Need for Energy Early factories used horses, water mills
So,need for power => steam engine
45
Effect of Steam Engine Need for coal
Increase textile,coal mining, metals
46
Iron and Coal Energy for the Industrial Revolution
47
Why did they need iron? Farming tools Machinery Railways
48
Coal needed for Iron smelting Steam engines No timber
49
Effect of Iron and Coal Britain #1 Coal powered navy
50
Transportation
51
The Need for Better Transportation
production creates need to transport
52
Inventions Stone and…asphalt roads Canals
Railroad era ushered with the Rocket in 1829
53
Effects of Railroads rapidly Cheaper transpo makes production and $
Railways, coal, steam engines, iron, steel, etc
54
Review How were early factories powered? How were they powered later?
Why was iron needed? Coal? How were products transported before vs after innovations?
55
Why Britain Led the Industrial Revolution and How This Was Advantageous
56
Geography Damp climate good for textile Available natural resources
Separation from Europe, no war on their island
57
Government Laws: Didn’t ban trade Allowed ppl to move
58
Social Factors Less rigid organization
59
Colonial Empire Supplied raw materials Markets for factory goods
60
Advantages of Industrializing First
In 1820, no other competitors Profitable ($) Gov’t wanted the monopoly control
61
Make a concept web Resources, location, climate Geogr.
62
Summary During the late _________ and early______,the Industrial Revolution transformed life in Britain. Prior to industrialization, farming in Europe was _____because farmers______. However, certain disadvantages such as____and___made pre-industrial agriculture _______. Soon though, forces for change like_____and____ led to an ___ Revolution.

63
Journal Topic of editorial (opinion based article newspaper):
Did the Industrial Revolution improve life? What areas of life would you investigate to figure out the answer? Who would you talk to? Where would you go?
64
Directions for Effects of the I.R.
1. Examine picture, read aloud 2. Record evidence of positive and negative effects of that aspect of life 3. Discuss w/ partners and write possible ways to improve negatives in terms of laws *note – there may be no positives / negatives for a few aspects of life
