Industrial Revolution Newspaper Project

This is a webquest about the Industrial Revolution. The students will research the IR from its beginnings in England, through the labor union movement, to the new inventions and how they changed life. The students will be in three groups. Each group will produce a newspaper about either the upper class, the middle class, or the lower class in 19th century England.
