5. Think, Pair, Share
What is Industrialism? What comes to mind when you think about Industrialism or the Industrial Revolution?

6. Industrial Revolution
Refers to the greatly increased output of machine-made goods that began in England in the middle 1700s

10. The English countryside

11. Starts with agriculture
England (early 1700s)
covered in small farms
Wealthy landowners buy smaller farms and create large farms
Large farms called enclosures
(the enclosure movement)
Allowed farmers to work bigger fields = find new ways to grow crops

12. New Farming techniques
Jethro Tull invents a seed drill to make sure seeds can germinate
= huge increase in crop yields
Crop rotation replaces three field system
Experiment with selective animal reproduction average weight of sheep goes from 18 to 50 pounds

14. Significant increase in food supply

16. Ability to feed more people for less $$ and with less labor

18. Increased Population

20. Surplus labor for new factories
(small farmers become tenant farmers or move to the city)

22. More people end up with more $$ = more demand for manufactured goods
Clothes, household goods, tools, etc

23. Industrialism Defined
Industrialization:
The process of developing machine produced goods.

31. The Railway Age
The idea of steam-power influenced land based transportation
First steam locomotive built in 1804
George Stephenson build the first railroad line in 1821

32. Impact of RR age Effects Increased industrial growth Created jobs

33. HOMEWORK – Disease/Sanitation Reading
Read this short excerpt about the disease and sanitation in early Industrial Britain and illustrate a compelling point from it.
Be clear and descriptive—the goal is for you to get a mental picture without sugar coating the actual conditions that existed.
Your drawing should be the full page and in color.
This is due by Wednesday, December 20th

34. Your Task… In groups of 2-3
Yes... You may choose your own group
Keep in mind… you want to be with people who will get their work finished 
As a group you need to create a visual representation of the causes of the Industrial Revolution (we did a similar activity for the French Rev. Estates system )
You must include visuals of the following:
Start of Industrial revolution
Economic
Political
Geographical
Transportation/RR
It is up to your group on how the poster will look
However, it should convey the message as to why these are causes of the industrial revolution with visuals and very few words.
DUE: Thursday, December 17th
