7 THE URBAN GAME CLASS EXPECTIONS: Each group will need:
You will listen and read a story about the progression of English society during the Industrial Revolution You will be drawing a growing city based on this story LISTEN--Each scene will be read only once. At the end of each scene, you will be given instructions on what you need to add to your city. Each group will need: 1 materials collector and returner 1 project manager who will designate drawing tasks for everyone & ensure that all group members are helping 1-2 discussion leaders and connection reminders (help remind your group to make connections!)

8 INTRODUCTION The year is 1700 and the nation is England.  The scene is a rural village. Draw 1 river stretching across your paper in any direction. Next, draw 1 bridge crossing over your river and extending into a road. Draw another road across your town going in the opposite direction as the first road. Draw 5 small homes, 1 church, 1 cemetery, 1 store, 1 pub, and 20 trees—all can be anywhere in your town

9 Round 1 The year is 1745.  You are an entrepreneur and have decided to invest your money in the construction of a canal, an artificial waterway used for transporting goods.  Since you are paying for this canal to be constructed, you will reap the benefits and hopefully make a lot of money! Coal could now be transported from the mines to the towns for half the price of horse drawn wagon transportation.  Draw a canal anywhere in your town. Since you are making money from this canal, draw yourself one medium sized home anywhere on the map

10 Round 2 It is now 1760.  The Agricultural Revolution is sweeping through your village. A number of new farming inventions have developed, causing agricultural production to increase. Since more food is being produced, population is increasing. Add 10 small houses to your town. In addition to better farming techniques, there have been new inventions helping people produce goods at home more efficiently. One example is the Water Frame, which could spin and could weave cloth 100x faster than by hand. The Water Frame relied on water for power so it needed to be located very close to a water source. Water frames were too large to fit in homes so new spaces needed to be built to house them. Add 1 factory (NO SMOKE- this is powered by water!) near a river. Next, add 5 small houses for textile factory workers.

11 Round 3 It is now 1774.  Workers are needed to work in your town’s new factory.  Many of these poor farmers who had to sell their land need to find work. Your town begins to see an influx of these displaced farmers who are desperate for jobs and hoping to work in factories. Add 10 small houses, 1 church, 1 pub, and 1 store to your town. Also, draw another road running through your town in any direction.

12 Round 4 The profits from the first textile factory are enormous. New factories are built in your community: Add 5 new factories along the riverbank (NO SMOKE). The early owners of these factories called themselves capitalists because they had the capital or money to purchase the raw materials, the building, the water frame, and to pay their workers a fixed wage and make a profit. Add 3 large homes for the factory owners. Also add 2 tenement buildings for the poor factory workers.

15 Round 5 As the century turns in 1800, we are definitely seeing the costs of progress. We need to find more energy and update our town to support the factories. Add 4 coal mines and a new iron bridge to replace the old wooden bridge that was falling apart.

16 Round 6 It is now Workers work long, hard hours in the factories.  The average work day begins around 5 or 6 AM and ends around 9 PM.  There is only one 30 minute break for lunch.  After work, many exhausted, stressed out workers stop at their local pub for some relaxation.  Alcohol begins to be consumed throughout England in record amounts.  Add 10 more pubs.  Add 5 tenement buildings.

17 Round 7 The year is A man named James Watt invents a new machine called the steam engine. The steam engine replaces the water frame since it is more efficient. Also, it allows factories to be built away from the rivers. Capitalists quickly replace their water frames with steam powered weaving and spinning machines. The main business in England is still TEXTILE manufacturing. Add 10 factories with smoke. Add smoke to all other pre-existing factories. Also, add 10 large houses to represent wealthy factory owners. Next, add 3 tenements for the poor workers.

18 Round 8 The year is 1815.  There is a great demand for coal right now:  home-heating, fuel for the steam engines, etc. Add 2 more coal mines to your city. During the 1700’s, coal miners were typically adult males, but in the 1800’s, coal miners were typically children between the ages of 8 and 14.  The work is dangerous and unhealthy.  Children become victims of black lung, explosions, and other accidents.  Their growth is stunted as they spend 14 hour days hunched over in the mines.  They are malnourished because they come from poor families struggling to pay for food. Casualty rates increase in English cities.  Draw 6 cemeteries.

20 Round 9 It is 1820.  The existing canals and dirt roads cannot accommodate the heavy industrial traffic of your city. People experiment to find faster, more efficient modes of travel.  The most successful appears to be a steam engine that pulls a series of wagons on an iron track.  The first railroad is tested and proves to be quite effective.  Add 1 railroad line connecting your factories to your coal mines.  This is one continuous track which must connect as many factories and coal mines as possible. Add 15 small houses for railroad builders.

22 Round 10 It is This new “revolution” in transportation draws thousands of people to your community. Soon your town has a surplus of workers desperate to find jobs. Capitalists who wish to maximize profit decide to hire women and children over men for certain jobs because they can perform the same labor at one-half to one-quarter of the price. Depressed, ashamed, and angry about their wives and children toiling in factories, some men turn to crime and the social life of the pub. Alcoholism rises. Family life is disrupted. Family members seldom eat together or see each other. Add 3 jails, 2 cemeteries, 7 pubs and 5 more tenements.

23 Round 11 Despite the hardships, the progress doesn’t stop. By 1837, we have to find ways to keep the town up at night to get the work done. Draw street lights (fueled by oil), lining each of your roads and along your railroad track.

24 Round 12 It is The two predominant factories are textile and iron. Working conditions in the factories were appalling. Many workers were becoming seriously ill. Other workers were injured on the job in factory accidents. There were no protective railings around the huge moving mechanical parts of machinery. Children, weakened from lack of proper sleep and diet, stumbled into machinery and were mutilated. Regardless, if you were unable to work, you were fired. There was no health insurance, sick leave, or disability payments coming from the English government. There was always a daily line of unemployed workers waiting to fill vacant jobs. Add 4 hospitals and 3 more cemeteries.

25 Round 13 It is There is a need for quicker transportation. Coal, iron, finished products, & raw materials must all be transported from one area of England to another. In Ireland in the late 1830’s a devastating potato famine drove hundreds of thousands of Irish people to England. This provided a source of inexpensive labor to build more railroads in England. Add 1 more railroad line passing east to west through your town. Add 5 houses and 1 tenement for the new railroad workers.

28 Round 14 It is Industrialization is bringing some advantages to urban life. City life is very different from rural areas. Cities began to see the growth of a middle class. The middle class was typically composed of successful merchants, shop owners, and accountants. For the small but growing middle class, a whole new cultural life is available. Museums, theater, opera, restaurants, & concerts are made available. Add 5 theaters and 6 museums. Add 4 private schools for upper class students (mark these schools with the letter “P”. Add 10 medium sized homes for middle class families.

30 Round 15 It is There are no pollution controls in England so the air in your city looks dark. Windows, walls, even trees are covered with soot. The river that once flowed through your quiet village for hundreds of years is now unfit for drinking, bathing, or even laundry. A new disease begins to take the lives of people. Malignant tumors grow in peoples’ bodies and the term cancer is first used in the medical profession. The average life expectancy for the poor classes is now 30 years of age. Your city is overcrowded and shrouded in factory smoke. The noises, lack of privacy, & the loss of family time shatters the peace of the old ways. Suicide rates double, then triple. Add 2 cemeteries, 1 jail, and 3 hospitals to accommodate the victims of urban life.

31 Exit Activity Everyone will answer these questions on loose leaf paper
Exit Activity Everyone will answer these questions on loose leaf paper. You will work together to discuss your answers with your group members. As the mayor of your city, identify and describe one issue that you are going to have to deal with. This should be an issue that deeply concerns you and your constituents. Describe any problems you had while developing your city. What would you do differently if you had the chance to create this city again? Explain! Please don’t say “nothing”!

32 Closing Thoughts Identify and explain 2 important changes that occurred in your English city throughout the process of industrialization. Be sure to describe what caused each of these changes as well as how these changes impacted society.
