Goals & Objectives
At the conclusion of this lesson, students will be able to understand how and why England was the first country to industrialize. They will also be able to make connections between scientific changes spurred cultural and social change in very meaningful ways.
Students will take guided notes through a lecture and will be graded on how thoroughly they have learned the concepts. Guided notes will be returned promptly after grading to be used for unit exam studying purposes.

Lesson Introduction
The teacher will lead a whole class group discussion on the meaning of the word Industrial Revolution. The point of this exercise is to help students know what the unit will be about from the very beginning. The teacher will break the word down into 2 separate words, ”industrial” and “revolution”, to further explain how this time period got its name. This process will also help English Learners.
Vocabulary
Students will create a vocabulary list on the back of their guided notes in 2-column form. Terms will be introduced in context and students will try to define them through the lecture and contextual clues on the left side. Students will use their text books to write the complete definition on the right side of the chart to compare their definition with the textbook’s.

Student Engagement & Critical Thinking
Students will fill out guided notes that the teacher provides while the lecture is presented. The lecture will match the guided notes to promote good note taking skill and conceptual understanding. There will be opportunities for student contribution to the lecture as well. Guided Notes provided through button below.
Lesson Closure
Students will produce a 3 W’s exercise on an index card they will turn in at the end of class. The 3 W’s are a set of questions regarding what they learned:
· What did we learn?
· So What? (relevance, importance)
· Now What? (connections to prior learning, predictions)

Demonstrated Learning - Assessment
Formative- The teacher will administer a take home quiz consisting of 2 short answer questions that test the understanding of main concepts and the ability to connect them in a meaningful manner.
Summative- Student guided notes will be evaluated to make sure they were on task during the lecture. Teacher will analyze which aspects of the lesson really appealed to students and which aspects went over their heads so that those concepts can be reviewed at a later time.
