Sequence of Activities (Instructional Strategies):
1. Focus: Bring or have photographs of several inventions from the late 19th century industrial period. Show these to the class and briefly discuss
what each one is, have students guess the year it was invented. At the end
of the session, tell the students the actual dates. You may want to offer a small incentive for the person with the most correct answers. Examples of inventions
include: sewing machine, telephone, light bulb, electric motor, radio, motion
pictures, x-rays, typewriter.
2. Activity: Randomly assign students one of the three major factors that lead the U.S.
to become a leading industrial nation: Abundant Natural Resources, Increasing
Number of Inventions and Expanding Urban Population. Have students create
a brief outline of each of the factors: resources, ideas, impact, etc. After the
students are finished; have them divide up into groups of 3, with an “expert” on
each of the factors. Have students discuss the knowledge they acquired with
their groups.
3. Writing Activity: Analyzing Effects
Have student pick the invention or development, of this time period, that had the
greatest impact on society. Tell student to justify their choice by thinking about
the following:
- application of the invention
