- I can understand the causes of the Industrial Revolution in Great Britain, continental Europe, and the United States. I can describe the technological innovations that spurred industrialization. I can describe the social, economic, and environmental impact of the Industrial Revolution and make connections between the impact of the Industrial Revolution and the ideological and political responses.
I am a licensed middle school and high Social Studies teacher in the state of Ohio. I have been teaching Social Studies to middle and high school students for the last four years. I have used this same lesson with students in the classroom and it has always been highly engaging. I also have a Bachelor's degree in both Education and History. Both my teaching license in Integrated Social Studies (grades 7-12) and my Bachelor's degree in History qualify me to teach this introductory course on the industrial revolution.

Homework
Frequency: includedFeedback: includedDetails: Homework is always optional. I believe learners would benefit from implementing the information they learn in class, however, I also understand that each learner is unique. Learners will analyze primary source documents and answer comprehension questions based on a primary source. These activities should not take more than one hour to completeAssessment
Frequency: includedDetails: Learners will be assessed informally in each class through verbal comprehension checks and class discussion. Each class will begin with a quick review of the activities from the previous week's class to ensure students understood the material. At the end of each unit, students will complete a Kahoot which will act as an informal summative assessment of the unit.
