This T-Chart will guide the students as they take notes while analyzing their
documents, listen to their classmates during the “Jigsaw” activity, and
debate/discuss the topic as a class. They are recording the claim made by
themselves, the article, or their classmates, as well as the evidence cited by one of
these parties. This will be very helpful as it is a simple way to keep track of
information to create an opinion based upon sound evidence
Collaboration
This will be evident when the students discuss their respective invention
documents in order to become “experts” on it, discuss their invention with
“experts” of different inventions, and have a class discussion/debate on what they
believe was the most impactful invention during the Industrial Revolution.
Independent Study
. This will be evident when the students fill out an exit ticket where they identify
and explain what they believe was the most impactful invention from the Industrial
Revolution. They must give two reasons to support their claim.
Guided Questioning
. This will be evident when the teacher asks questions to guide the discussions for
the Do Now and the class debate.
ADAPTATIONS (Exceptionality*)
Billy
Billy is a seventh grade student who continues to struggle with reading
skills: fluency, vocabulary recognition and comprehension. He has been classified
Learning Disabled in reading and participates in resource room program one period
each day. Billy struggles most in English and Social Studies. At this time, he has
become extremely anxious in testing situations. Research projects and homework
assignments which involve independent reading are challenges and he frequently
finds ways to avoid completing them. He is at risk of failing both English and
Social Studies due to incomplete assignments. Billy, however, appears to be a
strong auditory and visual learner. He is an accomplished communicator who
easily gains the respect and confidence of his peers when working in small,
*Billy will be assigned a buddy note-taker. This individual will take notes for Billy,
which can give him quality document analysis, an area he struggles in.For the Exit
Ticket and homework, he will be given the option of making Flipgrid videos
identifying and explaining the invention he believes was the most and least
important during this time period.The Flipgrid can play to his strength as he is an
accomplished communicator.
Carlos
Carlos is a 13 year old bilingual male who came to this country from
Ecuador two years ago. He has encountered serious learning problems resulting
primarily from his physical disability, time lost from school during surgery, and
relocation to the US. Carlos has poor circulation in his hands and feet that cause
swelling and discoloration of her fingers and toes. Extremely motivated to learn
and from an educationally ambitious family, he is keenly aware of his failure and
very anxious in academic situations. This results in further impairment of his
performance.Academically, he is far below the seventh grade in reading, spelling
and arithmetic. He reads at a low fifth grade level, with good overall
comprehension based on context, but with many common words unknown to him.
Auditory discrimination of consonant blends and knowledge of the consonant
sound-symbol relationship are inadequate. In addition, he confuses some of the
short vowel sounds and is unsure of the long vowels. Carlos has not read enough in
English to develop a sufficiently large sight vocabulary to cope with the
assignments given to her. Carlos is an extremely pleasant student who makes
friends easily and enjoys group activities during classes or at recess. He is the
middle child in a two-parent family. His siblings are academically average brothers
who are very protective of Carlos in social situations.
DIFFERENTIATION OF INSTRUCTION
ELL’s
. These students will be provided with translated text, text summaries, and
translated questions.
Struggling Students
. These students will be provided with a text summary so they can better
understand the document(s) they have to read and answer questions on.
Average Students
. These students will also be provided with a text summary.
Advanced Students
. These students will write text summaries during class that they will give to their
struggling classmates, be assigned to a classmate as a buddy note-taker, or as a
peer tutor.
Visual Learners
. These learners will benefit from the text and visuals presented in the documents.
Auditory Learners
. These learners will benefit from listening to their classmates during group and
class discussions.
Kinesthetic Learners
. These learners will benefit from the moving around and constant interaction with
their fellow classmates as they discuss their documents and opinions on the subject
matter.
The students will fill out an exit ticket identifying and explaining what they believe
is the most impactful invention from the Industrial Revolution.They must give two
reasons to support their claim and will be expected to score a minimum of a three
out of four on a teacher-constructed rubric.
INDEPENDENT PRACTICE
For homework, the students will construct another paragraph. For this paragraph,
they will identify and explain the invention from the Industrial Revolution they
believe had the least impact on the Industrial Revolution. They must cite
information from the text.
This diagram exhibits how more cotton was produced and how slaves
became more valuable as a result of the cotton gin.
Este diagrama muestra cómo se produjo más algodón y cómo los esclavos se
volvieron más valiosos como resultado de la ginebra de algodón.
This document exhibits how the railroad was more efficient than the other
means of transportation.
Este documento muestra cómo el ferrocarril era más eficiente que los otros
medios de transporte.
This document exhibits how and where railroads could travel throughout the
nation.
Este documento muestra cómo y dónde los ferrocarriles podrían viajar a
través de la nación.
Those factories benefited from one of the world's greatest partnerships — that of Watt
and Matthew Boulton, a British manufacturer. Together, they tailored Watt's steam
engine to any company that could use it, amassing great fortunes for themselves but
also sharing research over vast distances.
Las fábricas que aún dependían de la energía eólica o hidráulica para conducir sus
máquinas durante la Revolución Industrial estaban confinadas en ciertos lugares; el
vapor significaba que las fábricas podían construirse en cualquier lugar, no solo a
lo largo de ríos que fluían rápidamente.
Esas fábricas se beneficiaron de una de las asociaciones más grandes del mundo: la
de Watt y Matthew Boulton, un fabricante británico. Juntos, adaptaron la máquina
de vapor de Watt a cualquier empresa que pudiera usarla, amasando grandes
fortunas para sí mismos pero también compartiendo investigaciones a grandes
distancias.
Este documento explica cómo la máquina de vapor permitió que las fábricas
fueran construidas y ubicadas en cualquier lugar. Este invento era importante para
el transporte, ya que permitía que las mercancías se transportarán más y más
eficientemente. Esta fue la primera vez que los bienes fueron movidos por una
máquina, en lugar de una persona o un animal.
1. ¿Qué tipo de potencia reemplazó la potencia de vapor?
2. Enumere dos beneficios de esta invención como se indica en el
documento.
3. ¿Qué se hizo por primera vez en la historia? ¿Por qué era esto importante?
Durante la Revolución Industrial del siglo XIX, las máquinas tomaron la mayor
parte del trabajo de fabricación de los hombres y las fábricas reemplazaron los
talleres de artesanos. El evento que sentó las bases para este cambio monumental
fue la introducción de piezas intercambiables, o piezas prefabricadas que eran para
todos los propósitos prácticos idénticas, en la industria de las armas de fuego. Las
piezas intercambiables, popularizadas en Estados Unidos cuando Eli Whitney las
usó para ensamblar mosquetes en los primeros años del siglo XIX, permitieron a
los trabajadores relativamente poco capacitados producir grandes cantidades de
armas de manera rápida y a un costo menor, y la reparación y el reemplazo de las
piezas era infinitamente más fácil.
This document explains how interchangeable parts allowed for the mass
production of goods, even by unskilled workers. These parts were the exact same
and pre-made, allowing for more goods to be made quicker and cheaper.
