13	The Industrial Revolution Day #2 Aim: How did the Industrial Revolution Affect Society?
14	DO NOW: How did the Industrial Revolution Change Society? PICTURE # 1 : Taken before the industrial revolution Picture # 2 :Taken after after the industrial revolution
15	These are some Social Effects of Industrial Revolution Urbanization- the growth of large cities Rise of a working class New roles for children New roles for women IN THE FOLLOWING SLIDES DETERMINE IF THESE EFFECTS WERE “POSITIVE” OR “NEGATIVE”
16	Slide #1:Urbanization As fewer workers were needed on the farm, workers moved to the cities to find jobs in factories. Overcrowding and pollution increased.
17	Slide #2: Rise of a Working Class In the cities, workers often found themselves working long hours for low pay and in dangerous factories. Many factory owners became rich while workers did not.
18	Slide #3: Rise of a Working Class There was a wide difference in wealth between the factory owners (haves) and the workers (the have nots) POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE ?
19	Slide #4: New Roles for Children While children used to work on the farm, many now worked in dangerous conditions in factories. They were prized by factory owners because they could fit into tight spots and would not complain.
20	Slide #5: New Roles for Children
21	Slide #6:New Roles for Women While women did chores on the farm, they were also able to take care of children during the day. During the Industrial Revolution, women would either work in the dangerous factories or stay home and take care of the children, thus becoming very dependent on men.
22	Slide #7: New Roles for Women
23	Identifying the Social Problems of the Industrial Revolution We will now use the GHPPA The Global History Public Policy Analysis (GHPPA) is a way for us to examine the problems of the Industrial Revolution and to examine whether these problems exist in the world today. The first step is to identify the social problems related to the industrial revolution Click on Worksheet #1 and complete the questions..
24	Gather Evidence of the Social Problems created by the Industrial Revolution Next, collect evidence of the social problems created by the Industrial Revolution and complete Worksheet #2.
25	Determine the Causes and Factors Contributing to the Social Problems Determine the causes of the social problems or social changes that occurred during the Industrial Revolution and identify them on Worksheet #3.
26	The Industrial Revolution Day #3 Aim: How did the Industrial Revolution lead to democratic reforms in England?
27	Do Now: How would you fix or change these social effects of the Industrial Revolution? Be specific! 1. Urbanization- the growth of large cities with overpopulation and pollution 2. Rise of a relatively poor working class and a rich capitalist class 3. New roles for children- children worked in dangerous factories 4. New roles for women- women had dual responsibility in the home and in factories
28	How did the English government address the social problems created by the Industrial Revolution? The following slides show the reforms made by the English government to address the problems of the Industrial Revolution EVALUATE WHETHER THE REFORM (CHANGE) FIXED THE SPECIFIC PROBLEM OF THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
29	Reforms to the Problems of Cities Paved streets, sewers, electric street lights Police forces and better fire departments Cleaner water supplies Effective or Not?
30	Reforms to the Problems of the Working Class Workers formed unions to bargain on their behalf with employers Rising wages for most workers and a minimum wage was established Most men received the right to vote Effective or Not?

32	Reforms to the Problems of Women Laws were passed banning women from working in coal mines Women began to join skilled professions such as doctors, lawyers, researchers and inventors Women joined groups demanding better rights and the right the vote Effective or Not?
33	Did these new laws/policies fix the problems? Evaluate a policy or law in England that was adopted to fix a social problem/change mentioned in the previous slides. Place your findings on Worksheet #4.
34	What is happening in the world today? #1 Do the social problems that occurred during the Industrial revolution exist around the world today? #2 Have working conditions improved so much that these social problems have disappeared from the world?
35	What is happening in the world today?

36	Evaluate the following statement… “Problems exist in the world today that are very similar to the problems that first existed over 200 years ago during England’s industrial revolution. The world has not learned the lessons of England’s industrial revolution.”
