Social Studies 9
Lesson 2
Do Now!
Take 2-3 minutes to answer the following
question in your journal.
 Be sure to write out the question and
include the DATE!
 What is an example of a primary source?
How would it help me to learn about
history?

Review

Primary Source vs Secondary Source
Artifact…..
Is a PRIMARY SOURCE
 Yesterday when you looked at my artifact
kit you practiced using primary sources.

Drawbacks

But using ONLY primary sources can be
tricky.
SO…..

We use many different types of SOURCES
to make sure that we have the most
accurate understanding of something.
Today

We are going to use a type of
SECONDARY SOURCE to learn about
our first unit of study:
The Industrial Revolution!

Article: We are going to read an article
written by a teacher at RIST last year.
BUT!

Before we begin to read, we need to learn
how to read the RIGHT way.
How?

You have to find a PURPOSE or reason
for reading.

WHAT are we trying to figure out by
reading this?
KWL

Industrial Revolution style!

K= What do I ALREADY know about the
Industrial Revolution?

In your groups take 1 minute to write down
anything you already know about the
Industrial Revolution
W = WHAT

WHAT to I want to find out about the
Industrial Revolution?

Take 5 minutes to write down 3 things you
would like to learn about the Industrial
Revolution.
By the end of this unit, Ms.
Rebecca wants you to know:
1. WHAT IS the Industrial Revolution and
how is it a REVOLUTION?
 2. WHAT are some important things that
happened during the Industrial
Revolution?
 3. HOW did the Industrial Revolution
change people’s lives?
 4. Was the Industrial Revolution good or
bad?

L = Learned

When our unit of study is over, we should
be able to answer most, if not all of the
questions posed in our “W” (what we want
to learn) section and gain a better
understanding of the Industrial Revolution
and why it’s so important.

Last time

We learned a bit about The Industrial
Revolution. Remember: A revolution is a
change. The Industrial Revolution
changed the way people lived.
Revolution good?

The Industrial Revolution changed the
world to make it more modern
Detail: New inventions made it possible to
make things faster and easier
 Example: The cotton gin made it easier
to harvest (or pick cotton and take the
seeds out) cotton so it could be shipped to
factories and made into clothes.

Now that you have a little more
information
Answer in your journal:
 1. How was the Industrial Revolution
good?

Vocab!

These are some important terms that you
need to know for this unit:
But how?
What does it mean to you?

Industrial Revolution: The time when
people started using machines instead of
tools.
What does that mean to you?

Think of a picture that you think represents
the term The Industrial Revolution.
Now draw it!




On a note card that I pass out to you.
First, write the term and the definition
Then turn your card over and draw a picture of
what you think represents the term.
Example: On one side you will have a picture
and of Psychology and on the other side you will
write the actual word “Industrial Revolution”
and define it.
Now do the same with the following
words from our first unit










Industrial Revolution
Industrialization
Spinning Jenny
Cotton gin
Technology
Steamboat
Telegraph
Telephone
Internal combustion engine
textile
Check your book for the definitions
Pick a partner
And go through all of the terms to quiz
each other
 1. One person holds up the picture so the
other can see
 2. Then READ the description of the term
 3. The other person (the one looking at
the picture) guesses what the term is.

Now let’s play!



Pictionary!
Your table is your team.
Each team will take a turn sending one member up to the board to
draw.
ONLY the members of the team drawing can guess.
I will show them a term and they will have to draw what they think it
looks like.
The team will guess what they think the term is (30 sec) and if they
get it right, they get a point!
If they don’t know, the other teams may have a guess. The first
person to raise their hand gets to guess.
Then the next team will come up.
Now let’s use the new words (add
to lesson 3)




To write a story.
You must use every word to write a story about
the Industrial Revolution. Be Creative! Your use
of the words MUST show me that you
understand what the words mean.
You must write at least 5 sentences to write your
story
Don’t worry about grammar, just make sure you
understand the terms!
