東京理科大学 Listening & Speaking・Writing & Composition 1a: Discoveries & inventions of the Industrial Revolution・産業革命の発見・発明

Hello!



How are you? Today we'll look at some important discoveries and inventions of the Industrial Revolution (産業革命の発見、発明) . 

The picture above is of the Crystal Palace. This was a famous exhibition in London in the 19th century to show the accomplishments of the Industrial Revolution. Most of the exterior of the building was made of glass reinforced by steel. This exhibition was a great success that showed the British people what industry could do. 


First, here are the board notes for our classes today on 6/24. Here is Listening & Speaking 1a:



Here are the notes for Writing & Composition 1a:

Listening & Speaking 1a
Now here is our literary circle discussion about the Industrial Revolution

As before, if there are only three (3) members in your group, the leader should also be the vocabulary master. The summarizer or details master should ask the leader questions about vocabulary from the lecture or reading.

Activity
Leader questions
For the summarizer
Are you ready to summarize the reading/CD talk? (Can you give us your summary of the reading/CD talk?)

For the detail/vocabulary master
1. When did the Industrial Revolution begin?
2. How were things made before the Industrial Revolution? 
3. What particular industry was quickly developed?
4. How was agriculture improved?

(Leaders - think of two (2) more questions of your own from the lecture or reading to ask the details master!)

For the vocabulary master
1. What is agriculture
2. What are textiles
3. What does population mean? 
4. What does income mean? 

(Leaders - think of two (2) more words of your own from the lecture or reading to ask the vocabulary master!)

I hope this helps you with your understanding about this topic.

See you next time!
