Full teaching script
- Today: Industrial Revolution. Our goal: Explain causes and human costs.
- Take one idea at a time. Pause after each sentence; ask for repetition whenever you need it.
- Coal, steam and enclosure pushed people from fields into factory towns from about 1760. Output soared; so did child labour, 14-hour days, cholera and smoke. Reform came slowly — Factory Acts, unions, the 1832 and 1867 franchise expansions.
- Together: choose one example from the explanation and show how it works. What do you notice?
- Your turn: Write a diary entry from a mill worker in 1840.
- Reflect: what made sense, and what would you like explained differently?
