Social Studies 9: Industrial Revolution Board Game

Industrial Revolution Board Game Creation:

For the Industrial Revolution Unit's culminating activity you are going to create some sort of board game.

Purpose:  to show your learning and understanding of the Industrial Revolution.

Overview:
The game should aim to help people learn about the perspectives, new inventions, theories, and philosophies that emerged during the Industrial Revolution. You may use elements from an existing game/base it on another board game you have played, but you may not simply create an Industrial Revolution-version of a game.

Objectives:
Identify the major inventions and inventors of the Industrial Revolution.
Describe the impact new technology and intellectual advancements had on society during the Industrial Revolution.
Explain the changes and continuities experienced in cities & rural areas during the Industrial Revolution.
Identify & explain different perspectives of groups involved (government, workers, inventors, farmers, children etc..) in this time period.

You may work alone or in groups of 2-4.

Due date:  TBA (we will play & evaluate them in class so no late projects please)

Your game will be marked on content/information, creativity and playability.
****Don't forget to include instructions to the board game!!!!!
Be creative, be mindful & have fun!

Other Considerations:
-Designing a game where the players directly compete against one another is inherently more complex, but it makes it more enjoyable for the players. Be careful to keep the competition manageable and the directions clear.
-Be sure there are no major “dead ends” in the game that would prevent the game from ending or having a winner.
-How will you determine a winner? Last person? (How to eliminate others?) First to finish? (How to advance?)
-What materials will you need to help create the game?

Evaluation:
