The Rise of Industrialization
Day 1 Goals
WotD: Industrialization
Essential Question: Why did industrialization take
place in England?
Industrialization
The process in which a traditionally
agricultural society transforms itself into
one based on manufacturing goods and
services.
Urbanization
The process when people move from rural communities (towns) to
urban communities (cities).
Neolithic Revolution
15,000-20,000 years ago
Small communities of nomads settled in a single
location
Rise of agriculture and domestication of animals.
Agricultural Based Society
Primarily Rural Society
Labor intensive
Lives driven by the seasons and weather
Family Units in Agricultural
Based Societies
Each member is responsible for adding to survival of family.
Survival and subsistence was goal – Avoid Famine.
Resistant to change
Agricultural Revolution
A massive change in the nature of agriculture that increased
efficiency and allowed for more people to be fed with less
work.
New Technology
New Farming Techniques and Crops
New Animal Breeding
New Crop: The Introduction
of the Potatoes
The Introduction of the
Potatoes J. C. Curwen, The Rural Economy of Ireland, 1818
The first and most important object in the rural economics of
Ireland is the crop of potatoes, for on these exclusively depends
the existence of all the lower orders not resident in towns. The
potato, which in some points of view, may justly be regarded as
one of the greatest blessings to our species, is capable of
operating the greatest calamities, when it exclusively furnishes
the food on which a community is content to exist, for as the
cultivation of a single statute acre may successfully and easily
be attended by one individual and as its produce on an average
would give food for at least ten persons the year round…
Technology of the
Agricultural Revolution Mechanical drill for sowing seed (c. 1701)
More efficient seed planting
Less waste
Farming Techniques
Lord Townshend's four-year crop rotation system
Wheat, Barley, Turnips, Clover
Kept land “fresh” More Crops
Livestock Feed on Clover More fertilizer
Turnips Food for Livestock in Winter Longer Lives
Livestock Breeding
Breeding Livestock with Desired Characteristics
More meat, better wool, more milk
Year Sheep (lbs) Cattle (lbs)
1710 28 370
1795 80 800
Results of the Agricultural
Revolution
Increased Crop Yield
Healthier Population
Lower Mortality Rate (Infants especially)
Population doubled from 5 million to 10 million in
England during the 1700’s
Results of the Agricultural
Revolution
Less Labor required to feed the country
Owners kicked tenets off land Huge amount of
unemployment People moved to cities looking for work
Cheap labor available in cities
More wool and available to the Textile Industry
More materials to make clothes from
Key Inventions - Textiles
Spinning Jenny (1764)
Spinning wheel with 8 threads
Water powered by (1787)
Key Invention - Transportation
Steam Engine
First widely used during early 1800’s
Trains
Steamboats
The Industrial Revolution
The time period in which the output of machine-made goods
drastically increased in England during the 1700’s.
Document Based Question
Question: Why did industrialization take place in England?
You will be reading and evaluating a series of short documents
that will help you answer this question.
1. Read each document and answer the short question using
complete sentences.
2. Develop a thesis statement that identifies the two main reasons
why Industrialization took place in England.
3. Write a body paragraph that explains both reasons.
Example Paragraph Outline
Thesis: Industrialization took place in England because of the natural resources and scientific inventiveness of the country.
CD on Reason #1: Natural Resources
Two sentences of CM explaining why this allowed Industrialization in England.
CD on Reason #2: Scientific Inventiveness
Two sentences of CM explaining why this allowed Industrialization in England.
Notes about your
DBQ Paragraph
Start with a clear thesis that addresses your topic and
provides two clear reasons.
Write in formal language and include transitions.
Introduce and integrate your sources into your
writing…Lead and Tag
Lead & Tag (And Commentary)
Lead: Providing an introduction and context for your quotation.
Tag: The key information from the quotation that you are using.
Scientific inventiveness was key to Industrialization in England as was stated by Oxford historian Thomas Ashton who claimed that “the stream of English scientific thought was one of the main causes of the industrial revolution” (Document 5).
This willingness to challenge preexisting ideas and to create new inventions allowed for English scientists to create new technologies such as the steam engine and flying shuttle which drastically increased production to the point where a textile factory would be not only possible but also profitable. This was important to the rise of industrialization in England because it showed that the English were not afraid to try new things and welcomed the change that was required to create an industrial society.
