•What is Industrialism? What comes to mind when you think about Industrialism or the Industrial Revolution?

Revolutions

The English countryside

Starts with agriculture•England (early 1700s)• covered in small farms•Wealthy landowners buy smaller farms and create large farms• Large farms called enclosures • (the enclosure movement)

•Allowed farmers to work bigger fields = find new ways to grow crops

New Farming techniques• Jethro Tull invents a seed drill to make sure seeds can germinate •= huge increase in crop yields

•Crop rotation replaces three field system

•Experiment with selective animal reproduction average weight of sheep goes from 18 to 50 pounds

Significant increase in food supply

Ability to feed more people for less $$ and with

less labor

Increased Population

Surplus labor for new

factories (small farmers become tenant farmers

or move to the city)

More people end up with more $$ = more demand for

manufactured goods

Clothes, household goods, tools, etc

HOMEWORK – Disease/Sanitation Reading

• Read this short excerpt about the disease and sanitation in early Industrial Britain and illustrate a compelling point from it. • Be clear and descriptive—the goal is for you to

get a mental picture without sugar coating the actual conditions that existed. • Your drawing should be the full page and in

color. • This is due tomorrow if you don’t finish in class.

Wednesday, December 16th

Your Task…• In groups of 2-3 • Yes... You may choose your own group• Keep in mind… you want to be with people who will get their work

finished • As a group you need to create a visual representation of the causes of

the Industrial Revolution (we did a similar activity for the French Rev. Estates system )

• You must include visuals of the following:• Start of Industrial revolution • Economic• Political • Geographical• Transportation/RR

• It is up to your group on how the poster will look • However, it should convey the message as to why these are causes of

the industrial revolution with visuals and very few words. • DUE: Thursday, December 17th
