The Industrial Revolution Inventions Lesson & Urbanization Activities - Microsoft Digital Resources
This Industrial Revolution Inventions Lesson challenges students to explore the effects of rapid urbanization. It simplifies and clarifies the causes and effects of industrialization and urbanization in an accessible way. The activities are interactive and engaging for students, while the guided 6E format makes it easy for teachers to follow. Begin with a “4 Pics, 1 Word” warm-up activity, followed by discussions on vocabulary and major concepts. After that, guide your class through “The Urban Game,” a favorite among my students! In this fun, fast-paced activity, students will draw rural villages and observe their transformation into industrialized urban cities over 100 years. They will discover the innovations of this time and understand the impact these inventions had on people's daily lives. Finally, assess student learning with an exit ticket activity. Both printed and interactive digital versions of the materials are included, making them suitable for traditional in-class learning or digital 1:1 classrooms. Everything you need is provided!
