As we have learned in the last couple of weeks, the Industrial Revolution's effects are still seen worldwide today.  Using this website, explore the effects that the Industrial Revolution has had on many of our countries today.

Each ere are some guidelines:

1.) Presentations should be 6 minutes minimum, no longer than 10 minutes
2.) Each person in the group must talk
3.) Groups must work together to coordinate some sort of presentation (PowerPoint, Prezi, etc.)
4.) Include pictures, stories, statistics, etc. to accurately portray your geographical area you are studying.  TELL STORIES OF PEOPLE!!!

Things to consider:

1.) what are the struggles for these people?
2.) how does unemployment play a role in these struggles?
3.) how does industry or the lack thereof play a role in these struggles?
