The Industrial Revolution Lesson and Urban Game
This fun lesson challenges students to experience how quickly the world changed during the Industrial Revolution. The activities are engaging for students & the guided, 5-E format is easy for you to use! Lead your class through the “The Urban Game”, which is always one of my students' favorite lessons! It is a fun, fast-paced activity where students draw villages, then watch as they grow into industrial cities over the next 100 years. They learn about the time period's new innovations & the effects these inventions had on the daily lives of people. Check for understanding a creative "Industrial Revolution Stew" worksheet. Printable fill-in notes & practice activities accompany the lesson. Everything you need is included!
