HIS 213 Industrial Revolution Presentation          Due Date: Thursday, May 9, 2024

Your presentation is kind of what is known as historical fiction.  You are inventing a character to “roleplay”, but the details about your character must fit the correct time and place.

Make sure your presentation follows these rules:

-          Your character must be a child (6 to 14 years old) living in Britain during the Industrial Revolution.

-          Your character must work in one of the following places:  a mine, a mill, a factory, or a farm.

-          Your character should describe what their daily work routine is like.

-          Your character should describe what their life is like outside of work.

-          Your character should mention at least two specific experiences from their life.

-          The length of the presentation is one to two minutes long.
