=Lesson= This lesson was designed to take 2 45 minute class periods to finish. Depending on the level of detail you require from your students, I could take more. There are 3 phases. Phase 1 is researching a leader in the Industrial Revolution through a reputable source, we chose Grolier Online. Our school system has a subscription to this service. Phase 2 is locating a copyright friendly picture to use in the project. You could use any site that has creative commons licencsed work such as Pics4Learning, CreativeCommons.org, or WikimediaCommons. We chose WikimediaCommons. (Creative commons licensing is the more open version of copyright. The owner allows others the possibility of several different levels of use that could allow for derivative works. For more information about Creative Common licenses click here. [] Phase 3 is using the image with student writing about the leader in the Industrial Revolution to create a postcard (think flash card with photo) about that person and their contribution to the time period.
