The Industrial Revolution Urban Game Lesson | Print and Digital | Microsoft
This fun lesson challenges students to explore the rapid changes that occurred during the Industrial Revolution! It simplifies and clarifies the causes and effects of urbanization and industrialization in a meaningful way. The activities are interactive and engaging for students, and the guided 6E format is easy for teachers to follow.
Begin with a “4 Pics, 1 Word” warm-up activity, then discuss vocabulary and major concepts. Guide your class through “The Urban Game,” which is always a favorite among my students! In this fun, fast-paced activity, students will draw rural villages and watch as they transform into industrialized urban cities over the span of 100 years. They will discover the new innovations of the time period and understand the impact these inventions had on people's daily lives.
Finally, assess student learning with an exit ticket activity. Print & interactive, digital versions of the materials are included. Made for traditional in-class learning or digital 1:1 classrooms. Everything you need is included!
