Duncan's Classes Study the Industrial Revolution
Mrs. Duncan's World History classes work in small groups to complete a simulation of the Industrial Revolution. They were given a blank poster board (rural England) and very limited pieces of information each round, for a total of 20 rounds. Each round reflects a few years time-span and with each round they are assigned to add a specific number of structures and infrastructure.
They are not allowed to erase anything once it is on their poster as the
rounds progress. Once the project is completed they will have a very messy, overcrowded poster which reflects the state that England was in
at the end of the Industrial Revolution.
