Personal Unit Overview: What did you achieve this unit?

 

What I have achieved is that I learned the history of the Industrial revolution in the 1700s. I participated the class debate about the pros and cons of the Industrial revolution as a review for the test. I think I met all of the standards for his unit and did well explaining the connections.

 

Enduring Understandings: How did the European Industrial Revolution affect society?

The Industrial revolution affect society in a good way and in a bad way. The first positive thing is that people got new job, since people could used railways to travel from rural. The second positive thing is that transportation improved, so goods and materials could be share with other cities around the country. Not just that, people could travel around the river because of steam engines, which was an invention. However, the bad thing is that it harms people's health because there was pollutions, such as air pollution from the factory and water pollution from chemical waste.
