Effect of the Industrial Revolution Portfolio

Record your answers below.

Question 1

Pick two areas that you would like to focus on to show the differences between the
social classes during the Industrial Revolution. The areas can be: housing, clothing,
food, jobs, leisure activities, etc. Then, apply technology and research images that
represent the differences for each class. You will need a total of six images (2 for
each social class). Along with the images, you will write brief descriptions of each
including the approximate time period, region of the world, and any other facts you
find interesting about the images. If you are unable to provide a copy of each image,
you may provide links for each image.

Upper Class:

Middle Class:

Working Class:

Question 2
Now that you have selected your images. Write an explanation of each social class.
What would someone need to know about each class to identify the differences? You
will put the images and descriptions together on a digital or physical poster.

Upper class description:

Middle class description:

Working class description:

Provide a description of how you will organize your poster images and descriptions.

For my poster, I will organize the images and descriptions in three separate sections, one for each social class. At the top of each section, I will include a header with the name of the social class (Upper Class, Middle Class, Working Class). Under each header, I will place the two images for that social class along with their descriptions. I will include a brief but accurate description of each class that highlights key differences such as wealth, living conditions, occupations, and lifestyle. By visually representing each social class and providing detailed descriptions, viewers will be able to easily understand the differences between the classes during the Industrial Revolution.
