Grouped Partners:
• Grouped Partners
• The class is divided into groups of four, in which students choose a
partner.
• Each set of partners moves to opposite places in the room. Each set of
partners is given an alternative assignment (something to learn that they
will then teach the other two partners in their group.)
• Partners work to master the material provided and can consult with
other partners working on the same material.
• Partners then rejoin into their groups of four and each set of partners
will teach the other set.
Understanding Britain Pre-Industrial
Revolution
• It is always important to understand
how an event – such as the Industrial
Revolution – can have a significant
impact. One great way of understanding
an impact is to understand what it was
like prior to the event.

Understanding Britain Post-Industrial
Revolution
• Just as important as understanding how
society functioned prior to the revolution, it
is just as important to make the connections
that the revolution had on shifting where
the country had been and where it was after
the fact.
Understanding Britain Post-Industrial
Revolution

…So Why Great Britain?
There are 5 Significant factors that are identified as to
why the Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain:
1. Agrarian Revolution (Amount of food cropped)
2. Enclosure Movement
3. England had a ready supply of money (less land made
English people more Entrepreneurial in spirit
compared to their French counterparts).
4. Plentiful natural resources
5. Healthy supply of markets for goods (colonies)
