Industrial Revolution Unit *Informational Text* Activities
- PDF
Description
This Informational Text bundle is perfect for teaching the most important inventions of the Industrial Revolution. It can be used as a way for students to research inventions for an independent or group project, as a class gallery walk with the included notes sheets, or as a direct instruction presentation. A Higher Order Thinking sort activity and 20 question quiz with answer key are also included to help assess student learning.
I use this for 5th graders, but I feel that it could also be adapted for 4th graders or middle grades.
