In class we were split into groups to do a activity where we each get a document and we had to take notes on it. After we took notes, we walked around he class toe each group and the group members read out loud the notes they had on there document. Everyone took photos of the notes the groups had and put them on there Evernote.
Transportation: The industrial revolution was more than just creating new materials. It was also a big push into the transportation area. Steam powered trains and boats came out of the revolution. The trains were used to carry materials and other items across large areas of land. The steam powered boat was able to ship large masses of materials and items across waterways. Steam powered freighters were able to carry 20x more then the train. Steam engines could also power machines to do more work.
Textiles: There were also a lot of advances in creating textiles. There is the spinning jenny that was invented by James Hargreaves in 1764. It was able to spin multiple threads at the same time to produce more clothing and materials. Factories brought to together worker to produce large amounts of goods. Manufacturers built long sheds to house machines located near rapidly moving streams. Also, the amount of labor performed in one factory was equivalent to the labor performed in the entire industry of a district.
