Factors for the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in England (brainstorm in class 10/23/2007):


  • Scientific Revolution - technology, inventors
  • Natural Resources - coal, iron, workers, cotton (from colonies)

  • Adam Smith - laissez-faire & supply & demand
  • David Ricardo - Iron Law of Wages
  • Thomas Malthus - population will outpace food supply
  • Karl Marx - scientific socialism --> communism, proletariat, 1848 - Communist Manifesto

Class Notes from 11/17-18/2004:

Remember that Faulty Reasoning is defined as


  • an argument based on emotion,
  • an argument based on superstition,
  • or an argument that just foes not make sense.

Class Notes from 11/19/2004:


  • The Agricultural Revolution started in Britain, thus the Industrial Revolution started there as well.
  • Other countries followed Britain's lead, so that by the turn of the century, the US and Germany were the leading industrial countries.
  • Don't forget to complete the worksheet on the back of "Faulty Reasoning" for Monday - this is to be completed instead of notes for Chapter 3 Section 4!

Industrial Revolution Newspaper


This year, we will be writing articles/essays for a newspaper covering the major events, trends & people of the Industrial Revolution. Students will then format all of this information into Microsoft Publisher for practice creating a newspaper layout.  Knowledge of this software will be useful for students in the future as more classes use project-based assessment in addition to standardized tests.  This is a group project for up to 4 people; students who wish to work individually may do so. We will be in the computer lab December 16-23 to format our newspapers; this project is completely due at the end of class December 11, either digitally or hard copy.
