This lesson aims to examine and assess the impact of factory conditions on child labour during the Industrial Revolution.

The poor conditions and punishments are explored through the eyes of a pauper apprentice, whose story tells us the harsh discipline, rules and punishments for factory workers.

Students have a chance to complete a diary entry and evaluate if life was bad for everyone, including using causation equations in the plenary.

The lesson alludes to factory owners like Robert Owen who built quality houses, schools, shops with cheap goods and parks for his workers (although factory reform and reformers is dealt with in another lesson).

The lesson is enquiry based with a key question using a lightbulb posed at the start of the lesson and revisited at the end to show the progress of learning.

The resource comes in PowerPoint format if there is a wish to adapt and change.

I have also included suggested teaching strategies to deliver the lesson and there are differentiated materials included.
