Round 1
Beginning
1. Combine scattered land holdings to form large, fenced fields (enclosure)
2. Results of combining scattered land (fewer people farm; try new farming methods)
3. Factors of Production (Land, Labor, Capital)
4. Why water power is not the best method for powering your factory (Inconvenient location; flow varies
in drought or flood)
5. First industry to industrialize (textiles)
Other Revolutions

2. New transportation methods of the Industrial Age (Railroads, steamboats, canals, automobiles)
3. First major communications invention (telegraph)
4. Industrialization first spread here after starting in Britain (US)
5. Give one example of how industrialization in one area led to industrialization in another area. (Oil =

2. Who controls the rules in the factory (The factory owner, the manager he hired, and the machines)
3. What happened to skilled workers because of industrialization (Useless, fired)
