The videos and the source packet are some of my students' favorites. For the Industrial Revolution, I supplement the materials with a case study activity where students split up into three groups and read/answer the questions from three different perspectives: Williamina, a teenage factory worker; Mr. Tullington, a Factory Worker in Manchester, and Queen Victoria. The students then teach back their cases to the class. I never have time to also do this activity in my WHAP classes, but I also use this World's Fair Activity as well. Case Studies can be labor intensive to create, but I find that they have a really positive influence on students' retention, and they are fun! Has anyone else had success with Case Studies?
I love the case study you posted. Thank you for sharing it. I will use it this year.
