Industrial Revolution

This week, the 7th graders began their unit about the Industrial Revolution.  They started out by learning about the changes made in the textile industry in England and about how those inventions came to the United States and changed the economy and culture of the country forever.  Today, they learned about the working conditions in factories by participating in an assembly line simulation.  Then, they read and discussed primary sources about workers in English mills.  Next week, they will learn about other new inventions and the transportation revolution.

Question for your 7th grader:

• Tell me about the factory worker simulation.
