  2. The Paths of the North and South Targets: ?

  3. Take a look at pages 376 – 379 and page 407. (Skim) • What are we looking for? • We are going to develop our learning targets as a class. Create I CAN… Statements Group 1 & 2 - 382 – 387 Group 3 & 4 – 390 – 395 Group 5 & 6 – 396 – 400 Group 7 & 8 – 401 – 405 Each group needs to develop at least 1 learning target

  4. Industrial Revolution-Gradually, machines took the place of many hand tools. Much of the power once provided by people and horses began to be replaced, first by flowing water and then by steam engines.

  5. Spinning Jenny- speeded up the thread making process Factory system- brings workers and machinery together in one place capitalists- people who invest capital or money in a business to earn a profit

  6. steam engine- reliable source of power, factories no longer had to be built on riverbanks, use the energy created by boiling water to push rods and wheels

  7. Samuel Slater-memorized the plans of machines, constructed spinning machine entirely from memory

  8. Francis Cabot Lowell- opened mills in Massachusetts for spinning and weaving Lowell Girls-worked in factories, lived in boarding houses and received an education

  9. mass production-rapid manufacture of large numbers of identical objects interchangeable parts - identical pieces that could be assembled quickly by unskilled workers, manufacturing became more efficient, the price of goods dropped

  10. factory life (ages and conditions)- employed children as young as 7, working conditions became harsher, unsafe conditions, poorly lit, little fresh air, many workers were injured, workdays lasted 12-14 hours
