As much as I like the OER Project's contextualization activity for child labor, I think I'd like to sub that out with the Sadler Report activity this year. However, I still think there is value in students applying the skill of contextualization to the Industrial Revolution. So, I came up with this assignment to combine the reading (with highlighting key things that happened before, during, and after industrialization) with the new "context card" approach as a drag and drop and a culminating paragraph.
I like to say that lesson plans are like pancakes: the first batch is never the best, but then it gets better. Knowing that this assignment likely has some bugs to work out, I'd love to get some feedback from the community before rolling this out to students. If you have any suggestions, I am all ears! Thanks in advance!
