Description
Industrial Revolution
Are you looking for a unique and engaging way to teach your students about the economic and social changes brought about by industrialization and urbanization in the mid-1800s in the United States? If so, I highly recommend our readers' theatre, "Innovation Nation: The Great Debate."
This dynamic script brings to life the key inventions of the time period, including the mechanical reaper, interchangeable parts, the telegraph, the factory, and the transcontinental railroad, and allows your students to see history come alive through their interactions and debates. The characters are witty, sarcastic, and entertaining, making the material both memorable and enjoyable for students.
In addition to its entertainment value, this readers' theatre provides numerous educational benefits. Your students will analyze the causes and effects of economic differences among different regions of the US, understand the economic factors that brought about rapid industrialization and urbanization, and explore how urbanization contributed to conflicts resulting from differences in religion, social class, and political beliefs.
