Unit Two Summative Assessment
You are required to compose your own personal response to this question:
How revolutionary was the Industrial Revolution?
You will be assessed against all four criteria:
- Criterion A: knowledge: This will be assessed by looking at proper usage of Industrial Revolution-related terminology, facts and examples used to describe impacts of the Industrial Revolution, and accurate and detailed explanations of those impacts.
- Criterion B: concepts: This will be assessed by looking at how you analyse the changes brought on by the Industrial Revolution and how it affected people around the world.
- Criterion C: skills: This will be assessed by looking at how well you research your project and how you analyse information.
- Criterion D: organization and presentation: This will be assessed by how well your write your project. This project should be completed in MLA style.
As you work through your response, you are advised to follow this route:
- Define “revolution”
- Layout your own criteria by which something can earn the designation “revolution”
- Be careful though – things need to do far more than “change” to be described as being a revolution!
- Measure the various aspects of the industrial revolution against these criteria
- Do all criteria need to be met to earn the designation?
- What method of measurement are you going to use?
-----------------------------------------------------------
Your finished article should look something like this:
- HEADLINE
- Introduction – your thesis
- Revolution – your criteria of measurement
- Aspects – which aspects of the Industrial Revolution do, and do not, meet your criteria. This section must include full explanations and evidence.
- Conclusion
- You MUST support your article with at last two charts of figures/statistics and two relevant illustrations.
