Created with Fabric.js 1.4.5 In small groups you will be creating an infographic about a particular part of the Industrial Revolution that you will be presenting to the class. Your infographic will cover the topics that have been assigned to your group and from this you will be able to explain these topics to the class. The infographic is graphically based so that your group will take your data,ideas, people, etc. and display it using pictures, charts, graphs, or any other graphic. You may have SOME writing on your infographic, but remember that the ideas should be expressed mainly through the graphic and not the words. To research the information assigned to your groups you will use both your current world history textbook, as well as the old world history textbook from the class set. In addition, you may use other resources such as the encyclopedias, dictionaries, and the internet for both information and your visuals. During the presentations you will fill out the terms/people that accompany each section in this packet to turn in. Group 7 Why did the Industrial Revolution begin in Britain?
