Industrial+Revolution




 * During the Industrial Revolution, new inventions and a more streemlined approach to manufacturing changed the way goods were produced. Instead of making or harvesting one item at a time by hand, machines made it possible to have mass production facilities that could do the job of many. With this increase in production came risks. Child labor and poor working conditions in general created severe health risks associated with the factory machine working. Long hours and poor treatment by factory owners often made it hard for employees to protect themselves from the dangers of the workplace.

On a sheet of paper, draw a picture of what your life would have been like working in a factory during the Industrial Revolution. Include the hazzards and a picture of your job during this period. When you have completed your drawing, write a paragraph explaining your duties during the typical day. **
