This outstanding resource which I have used many times over the past 25 years in one shape or another during lesson observations with Ofsted and or LEA advisors. It forms part of a series that I have uploaded to the TES on the Transport Revolution 1750 - 1900.
This particular resources focus on the birth of the railways up to the period known as 'Railway Mania' in the 1850s. The PowerPoint includes aims, objectives, starters and three activities that are accessible to a wide spectrum of learners. These activities include a snowballing starter of the key words, a heads and tails activity as well as a thinking skills review triangle activity on what were the most important steps / inventions to the birth of the railways.
The PowerPoint also contains a number of linked in video clips and animated steam engines. I would like to add that I am not a train spotter, but I've always found that my students, especially the boys have thoroughly enjoyed this topic so put the fun back into the industrial revolution by looking a few machines rather than just focusing on social history.
The aims and objectives are:
Theme: Transport Revolution 1750 - 1900
Know: Why were the important steps to the introduction of the steam locomotive?
Understand: What were the causes of ‘Railway Mania’?
Evaluate: Why did the railways rapidly grow from 1830 – 1900?
Skills: Cause, Consequence, Significance and Source Analysis
WILF: What Am I Looking For?
Identify & describe: The key inventions that were necessary for the invention of the locomotive?
Explain: What was ‘Railway Mania’?
Analyse: Begin to come to a judgement on which factor to the introduction of the railways?
Anyway, have fun with this resource. They are full editable. If you like it, then please check out some of my other resources on the building of the railway and their impact of the economy.
Kind Regards
Roy
