We began class with the following warm-up questions.  I read the background scenario, students responded to the questions and we discussed each.

Progress or Regress Warm-Up

Next, I handed students the Progress or Regress sheet and two articles on the Industrial Revolution.

Progress or Regress Sheet

Benefits of Industrial Revolution- Article

Social Impact of Industrial Revolution- Article

We skipped the first page of the "Progress or Regress" sheet.  With a partner, students read both articles, taking notes on the back of the "Progress or Regress" sheet in the 2-column note space.  They then discussed the two discussion questions and answered the "Is it worth it?" question in a paragraph.

Homework is to finish reading the two articles and taking two-column notes on the "Progress or Regress" sheet.  Then, they need to answer the "Is it worth it?" question on the "Progress or Regress" sheet in one full paragraph.
