Groups work together to develop a newspaper covering the Industrial Revolution including articles done individually from four students on the following five topics: 1) Find out the scoop on one of the millionaires of the 19th century. What good and bad things did they do? Write an article. 2) Write an article on one of the inventions of the Industrial Age? How did it work? What changes came about as a result? 3) Pretend you are a worker in a factory. Describe your day and compare/contrast that to your average day. 4) Write an article about the unions during the Industrial Revolution and compare/contrast that to what you discover about today's unions. Include information from a relative about their union. 5) Write an article about the inventions since the computer was invented. Describe how they have changed our lives and compare that to the way Industrial Revolution inventions changed lives. Note: no formal presentation is required but newspapers will be shared with the class.
