TASKS
1.Brainstorming: think of words related to the Industrial revolution/industry
2. Read the text Workshops to factory production and the same chapter on page 56
3. Work in pairs to fill in the table
4. Write a composition on both the factory system and the crafts one, by comparing
the items in the table. Use connectors to stress contrast.
Classroom advice:
The purpose is to compare both systems by including as many items of our table
as possible while using a variety of connectors to show contrast or addition. You
just have to use the table and the text, other sources are not allowed.
The purpose of this task is not only to make you review what you've learnt by
reading the text and filling in the table, but to make you write properly on this
topic (accurate vocabulary is required, not your own words),so it is a writing
exercise. On the one hand, It involves using key vocabulary of the text ( from start
to finish, single tasks, broken down into many steps, division of labour,
manufacturing process, increase in productivity, skilled, non- skilled workers,
decreasing costs.., investment, profit....) we have to get used to a vocabulary in
economics when dealing with the Industrial Revolution.
On the other hand, it is a composition to compare, so you'd better think before you
start writing, list your ideas, order them properly and write coherent paragraphs.
Using adjectives is the best way to make your text rich: small workshops, skilled
craftsmen... alienating work...
