I am really pleased that so many students are continuing to work really hard while they are at home. I set Year 8 students the task below and received some really fantastic responses.

The one I have posted below really stood out as particularly good so well done Maria Smirnova from 8G!

I asked:

‘A revolution is usually defined as ‘a great or rapid change which destroys what went before, and replaces it with something better’.

Historians talk about an Industrial Revolution in Britain.  The following activities will help you to decide when this revolution occurred. Look at the information and create a timeline of events.

Historians used to say the Industrial Revolution happened between 1780 and 1800.  Does your timeline support this theory?  When do you think the Industrial Revolution happened?  Use your timeline to justify your answer. Use the planning section and answer frame to help you answer this.’
