Industrial Revolution - Workers (Men) (4)

This is the 4th lesson in an 11 lesson sequence entitled “What do different interpretations tell us about the Industrial Revolution?”
This lesson reinforces student understanding of “source”, “interpretation” and “scholarship”.
The lesson addresses:

• Arnold Toynbee’s view of the Industrial Revolution being dark and horrible for all.
• Emma Griffin’s view that the Industrial Revolution was felt in different ways by different people in society and that men benefited the most.
• Students complete guided reading to learn about the lives of men - the jobs available, the pay, the dangers etc.
• Students Write a PEE paragraph to show how what they have learned supports the assertions made by Griffin.
• Students can make a final judgement about which historian they most agree with.
