Year 9 History Term 1, 2013 Teacher: Mrs. Kathleen Best email kbest@chairo.vic.edu.au

In Term 2, we will continue our study of the Industrial Revolution.

Those students who need to re-submit their "What caused the Industrial Revolution" Inquiry Task should do so as soon as possible. I am available Monday, Wednesday and Friday at lunchtime in ICT2 for students who need assistance. The onus is on the students to re-submit work if they wish to improve their mark for the assignment.

This term, we will be studying and analysing the changing working conditions for both children and adults and the impact it had on changing in society.

Students will have one assignment to complete this term: A group presentation comprising __**one**__ of the following: a drama depicting working life in a mine or factory; a reporter gathering facts for a newspaper article; a parliamentary debate featuring Wilberforce's debate on the abolition of slavery, the trial of a convict sentenced to transportation; **//__or__//** a political meeting/strike action calling for improved wages and laws to improve factory conditions.

Students will also be required to complete worksheets in their History workbook on the topics we cover during this unit of work. These worksheets and activity sheets form part of the end of semester assessment.

Worksheet 1.4 is due Week 3 Worksheet 1.5 is due Week 4
